KEMRI samples taken from 44 Eregi Girls students reveal there is no disease

Samples taken from Eregi Girls High School students for testing at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) now show that there are no traces of any disease whatsoever affecting them.

This is according to Kakamega County Health CEC Bernard Wasonga, who said the results received from KEMRI were for 44 out of 106 students who were admitted in various hospitals across the county.

Mr. Wasonga said the 44 students have since been allowed to go back to school and that the remaining 62 are still being attended to, further urging parents to dispel any fears they had of their children being ill.

“Wote wameshughulikiwa vilivyo kimatibabu, tukachukua sampuli tukapeleka KEMRI kuchunguza ni nini haswa ilikuwa inaleta hii maumivu,” said the CEC.

“Kufikia kwa sasa, inaonekana ya kwamba hatukuwa na infection yoyote kutokana na hiyo maradhi kwa sababu lab ya KEMRI imeleta matokeo ikasema ya kwamba hakuna infection yoyote.”

He added: “Wasichana hao sasa tumewapatia nafasi kurudi shule kuendelea na masomo kwa sababu hakuna shida yoyote na ugonjwa sasa kwao. Wale wamebaki ni 62, na pia hao wako karibu kuenda nyumbani, na sasa wasichana wataendelea na masomo yao bila shida yoyote.”

The school board on Thursday evening held a meeting to establish the well-being of students who had already been picked up by their parents and taken home for treatment and figure out a way to bring back.
