]]> Kenyan doctors are checking on a patient in the West of the country who has presented with EBOLA-like symptoms.

They are assuring the public that every possible measure is being taken to ensure their safety.

The woman patient has travelled from Malaba on neighboring Uganda’s eastern border.

The two EBOLA fatalities in Uganda occurred across the country on its western border with the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Authorities say blood tests should reveal with 24 hours whether the woman has EBOLA.

They point out that several other diseases feature symptoms similar to EBOLA.

The Kenyan scare follows the decision by the World Health Organisation not to declare the second worst outbreak of EBOLA in history, that’s has killed more than 1 400 people in the Congo,  a global  health emergency.
