Maabara ya taifa imeimarishwa na teknolojia ya hali ya juu ya kupanga jeni, uwezo wa kutenganisha virusi, majukwaa ya uchunguzi wa molekuli, na uhifadhi ulioongezwa ambao utapunguza wakati wa uchunguzi wa virusi vya polio na magonjwa mengine.
Nchini Kenya na eneo zima, kila mwezi makusanyo ya maji taka na aina za kinyesi hufika katika Taasisi ya Utafiti wa Kimatibabu ya Kenya (KEMRI), ambapo uchambuzi wa kimaabara hutafuta ushahidi wa mapema wa virusi vya polio.
Ugunduzi wa mapema wa virusi vya polio, ugonjwa unaoambukiza ambao unaweza kusababisha ulemavu wa kudumu kwa watoto, huiwezesha Kenya na nchi jirani kuthibitisha maambukizi kabla ya virusi kuenea kupitia jamii zilizo hatarini.
Ili kuimarisha uwezo wa eneo hilo kugundua virusi vya polio na magonjwa mengine, Kenya imeboresha maabara ya KEMRI.
Ikiungwa mkono na WHO na taasisi ya Gates Foundation chini ya Mpango wa Kimataifa wa Kutokomeza Polio, maabara iliyoimarishwa ina teknolojia ya hali ya juu ya kupanga jeni, uwezo wa kutenganisha virusi, majukwaa ya uchunguzi wa molekuli, na uhifadhi ulioongezwa ambao utapunguza muda wa uchunguzi wa virusi vya polio na magonjwa mengine.
Upanuzi mpya wa maabara ulioidhinishwa na WHO unaanzisha Kenya kama kitovu cha ubora wa kikanda, na kupanua athari zake zaidi ya Kenya ili kuhudumia nchi nyingi katika kanda za WHO za Afrika na Mashariki ya Mediterania.
