The Mandera Health department
has raised the alarm over the rising number of people hospitalised with
Chikungunya fever. Five hundred and forty people have been hospitalised.
Health chief officer Mariam Dahir on Wednesday said the number of residents affected could be higher as many schools have not been inspected. Health workers have been dispatched to inspect schools. Chikungunya, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, causes severe joint pain and headaches.
