The Ministry of Health confirmed the first case of Mpox in Kenya on July 31.
The case was reported at the Taita-Taveta one-stop border point.
The ministry said the patient code-named ‘patient zero’ was travelling from Uganda to Rwanda through Kenya.
Public Health PS Mary Muthoni said the patient who had contracted Mpox has recovered.
Muthoni said the ministry’s antennae had been raised with surveillance heightened at border points, especially on those from Congo where the disease originated.
