In recognition of the need for a more coordinated and multisectoral response to the growing cancer burden in kenya, the national assembly enacted the cancer prevention and control act (no. 15 of 2012) which established the National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCI Kenya) as a state corporation. The overall mandate of the nci kenya is to coordinate all activities, resources and information related to cancer prevention and control in Kenya.

NCI-kenya recognizes that prioritizing and implementing cancer related interventions requires effective engagement and collaboration among all relevant stakeholders. Therefore, a stakeholder’s convention focused on cancer will take place from 2nd to 4th February 2023, culminating with the commemoration of world cancer day. This convention christened "The National Cancer Summit" is envisioned to bring together all stakeholders to discourse on identified areas of interest and to drive collective & impactful actions.

Am sori to tell you but this is a bullshit statement. In Kenya most cancer patients present in hospital when their cancer is at stage 3 or 4. The fact that they die is because of this late presentation, not the treatment they get.

Let's meet at the summit. I will be there.

May seem to be BS now but at least its backed by statistics that i am not willing to share. The stats point to the fact that there is need to develop new ways to fight cancer. Please note i am not talking about preventive measures only curative.

I will see you at the summit.

Are you talking of alternative treatments like herbal and diet-based?

Actual alternatives to Chemotherapy. See link below


There are several alternative cancer treatments to chemotherapy, including immunotherapy, photodynamic therapy, and laser therapy. Some people may prefer these alternatives due to the potentially severe side effects of chemotherapy.
