The Pharmaceutical Society of Kenya (PSK) has called on pharmacists and teams in any medication-related care centres to exercise heightened vigilance after the first Ebola case in Kenya was reported.
PSK said in a statement that pharmacy care teams should be prepared to recognise risk, protect themselves and other patients in the case of a surge in the deadly virus.
Pharmacists have been urged to remain alert of patients exhibiting symptoms related to Ebola like fever, fatigue, chills, muscle pain, sore throat or other concerning symptoms.
