Kenya has discharged its last Ebola patient, marking a major step towards ending its outbreak. The patient was the seventh person to recover from the virus. The country has reported no new confirmed cases since October 20, 2026. Health Minister Aden Duale said all 135 identified contacts had completed their 21-day monitoring period. Kenya will now begin a 42-day countdown before it can be officially declared Ebola-free. Health teams will continue screening travellers and monitoring border areas, airports and hospitals during this period.
