Vaccination

Delegates are responsible for complying with any travel measures stipulated by the country of departure and destination, and the respective airline. Delegates coming from yellow fever endemic countries should have valid vaccination certificates (vaccinated ten (10) days) before departing for their destination country. (See Annex IV for the list of Countries and Yellow Fever Guidelines).

For more information on health protocols please consult MOH- Arriving in Kenya.

Delegates should consult their medical practitioner for recommendations for other vaccinations and precautions that may apply to them.

Note: Kenya is classified as a country with risk of yellow fever transmission and therefore delegates are required to have a valid yellow fever certificate upon exit.

There are five (5) National referral hospitals, namely Kenyatta National Hospital, Kenyatta University Teaching, Research and Referral Hospital, Nairobi Hospital, MP Shah Hospital and Aga Khan Hospital which are accessible for all VVIPs, VIP and other delegates. Information on various insurance companies recommended from these hospitals is available at the Summit website on https://cmsuat.icta.go.ke/ida21

All delegates are advised to have medical insurance which is valid in Kenya before embarking for the IDA for Africa Heads of State Summit.

Two types of health clinics will be established and accessible to all the delegates. They will be located at areas visible and accessible to all the delegates including those with special needs and disabilities. Any medical condition that will require referral and admission shall be in the medical facility of the delegate’s choice at their own cost

Both clinics will have adequate Human Resources for Health (HRH), stocks of pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical supplies for all the conditions and diseases likely to be diagnosed during the assessment and examination of delegates.

Health teams will be situated outside and /or inside the conference rooms during sessions for quick response to emergency cases. The team will escort delegates seeking medical care to the clinics. Health updates will be given to the delegates every morning. Transport liaison officers will give health updates of delegates to the health team leader.

Covid-19 travel requirements remain lifted by the WHO but any delegate having flu like symptoms with associated fever will need to test themselves and if positive, isolate themselves.
