Cancer patients cross into TZ for treatment

Cancer patients from Malawi, the Comoros and Kenya have been crossing into Tanzania in search of radiotherapy treatment, The Citizen has learnt.

Reports of people from one African country moving to another in pursuit of radiotherapy took centre stage last week after Uganda announced it was sending 400 cancer patients to Kenya for radiotherapy after its only radiation machine broke down.
