00:00Kenya has discharged its last Ebola patient, triggering a crucial 42-day countdown to being declared Ebola-free.
00:08Health Minister Aden Douale has praised the country's response, as cases across the wider region surpass 11,000 since the
00:16outbreak began in May.
00:17We chose transparency from the very first hour. We reported early, we published our figures, we shared our data, we
00:30kept our borders open as the international health regulations require.
00:35Regrettably, some jurisdictions responded to that honesty, to that transparency and accountability with a blanket travel and visa restriction on
00:47Kenya.
00:48Today I call upon those jurisdictions to review and lift these measures without delay. Kenya has no patient under treatment.
01:01Kenya recorded nine Ebola cases after the virus spread from a traveller from Congo, claiming two lives, including the first
01:09patient.
01:10Seven others have recovered. But the wider outbreak remains deadly, with Congo reporting more than 11,000 infections and over
01:175,300 deaths.
