But because KNH has only three functional radiotherapy machines, she joined a long queue of cancer patients waiting their turn. “For radiotherapy and other advanced cancer treatment, our patients are referred to KNH,” Dr Otieno said. EQUIPMENTThe same case applies to Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital and Kisii Teaching and Referral Hospital. This leaves about 1,000 cancer patients on the waiting list each day. Dr Nyongesa is concerned about the long queues but says they are trying to make patients access treatment faster by navigating them at the cancer treatment centre.
