Cancer Care in Kenya: Access and Growth
Kenya is making significant strides in cancer care, with institutions such as the National Cancer Institute of Kenya leading efforts to improve access to treatment. The expansion of specialized cancer centers across the country is addressing the critical need for accessible oncological care in rural areas. Efforts to decentralize care aim to reduce the burden on major cities like Nairobi and Mombasa, ensuring that even patients in regions like Kericho, Eldoret, and Kakamega can access high-quality treatment.
With more oncologists setting up practices outside major urban centers, the journey toward improving cancer treatment in Kenya is steadily advancing. For those diagnosed with cancer, early consultation with a qualified oncologist remains key to better treatment outcomes. This list will serve as a valuable resource for patients and their families seeking care across the country.
