This is after President Uhuru Kenyatta announced that Kenyatta University Referral Hospital’s Integrated Molecular Imaging Centre will be ready by March, 2021. Hospital’s Integrated Molecular Imaging Centre is completed, there will no longer be need for any Kenyan to travel abroad in search of specialized cancer treatment. General Electric East Africa limited won the contract to construct the public comprehensive cancer centre in July. It will also reduce waiting time and cost of cancer treatment as well as enhancing accuracy in diagnosis and treatment of cancer, reduction in recurrent or metastasis of cancer and significantly reducing cancer-related mortality by improving survivorship. Cancer treatment has over the years been regarded as a costly affair in the country with many Kenyans preferring to seek medication overseas.
