The Ministry of Health is on high alert following the sudden deaths of four individuals in Mombasa. The fatalities, whose causes remain unknown, have triggered a full-scale investigation led by the Public Health Department.
Public Health Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni confirmed the incident, saying that specialized teams have already been sent to the coastal city to conduct surveillance and collect samples for laboratory analysis.
