India to fully finance cancer hospital in Kenya - PM Modi

[Sammuel999]

since January 2016
over 10,000 Kenyans have travelled to India for medical treatment because it's cheaper there but PM MODI IS BOUND TO CHANGE THAT

AFTER arriving in Kenya to a full capacity stadium full of about 65,000 Indians diasora in Kenya he today met
UK in state house and this resulted costing 100,000,000$


India will fully finance a cancer hospital in Kenya and partner with the country to improve health systems and access to treatment.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said on Monday that his country will donate medical equipment and medicine for hospitals across Kenya.
"We are also donating essential medicine, especially ARVs. I understand healthcare is a key priority for President Uhuru Kenyatta," said Modi.
He addressed a joint press conference with Uhuru at State House in Nairobi.
Noting historical ties with Kenya provide a basis for partnerships, Modi thanked Uhuru for his kind words and hospitality.
"I am honoured to be here. Kenya is a great friend of India; our ties run deep and we have a shared colonial history," he noted.
He added that Kenya and India have more to partner on as they are both innovative.
The President said Kenya was working towards having its own pharmaceuticals manufacturing plant with India's support.
Uhuru said he signed bilateral agreements that will see the growth of several sectors and enhance the two countries' prosperity.
The President said the PM's visit offered Kenya a chance to renew and deepen their friendship and partnership.
Kenyatta National Hospital is the only public facility with a cancer treatment centre for children aged up to 14.
The hospital said the disease accounts for approximately 18,000 deaths in Kenya annually, with up to 20 per cent occurring among babies and children.
The Health ministry launched new cancer testing equipment at KNH in July.
Health CS James Macharia said the Human Papiloma Virus equipment will facilitate primary prevention through screening, detection, early diagnosis and appropriate management of pre-cancers and cancers.

Depay, Kenyans seeking cancer treatment in Tanzania

Unakuta wapuuzi WA JF toka Kenya inaidharau Tanzania


Dr Mwaiselage said that cancer patients from neighbouring countries have been coming to Tanzania over the years but they are required to pay, although cancer treatment here in the country is free, according to the health policy.

“The numbers keep fluctuating. Sometimes you could have 30 to 50 patients in a year from other African countries coming here for radiotherapy,’’ he said, adding that some come to Tanzania because in their countries there is a long waiting time for radiotherapy treatment.

“In Kenya, for example, cancer treatment is not free and people have to wait for about a year for their turn to get treated but here, we have a maximum of three months’ waiting time. So people in Mombasa find it easier to come to Tanzania,’’ Dr Mwaiselage told The Citizen.

A Kenyan hospital, the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUN), will work with the Ugandan government to provide as many as 400 cancer patients with free treatment.
The hospital said it would do all it could to help and encouraged others to do the same.
The 400 cancer patients from Uganda will be going to Kenya since their country’s only radiotherapy machine broke down leaving thousand others at risk of missing potential life-saving treatment.
Uganda’s government has said it will cover the travel and other costs for the 400 going to the Nairobi hospital.
The private, not-for-profit hospital in the Kenyan capital has two radiotherapy units and six radiation oncologists.

mwanzo sikuhizi vile kila mfanyikazi anahitajika awe na insuarence hasa zile za NHIF amabazo zinaongezewa zweze ku cover hata cancer, kama umeweka hospitali private as your main hospital, ata kama iko ghali vipi, ukipatwa na cancer unatibiwa bure, ukichanganya na macini za cancer from private hospital, kenya iko na machini na madaktari wengi na wanguvu kushinda nchi zenu, hio ya wahindi itakua cheaper ndo watu wasio na insuarence waeze kwenda

 

[Kafrican]

and BTW, hata hio hospitali ya UG yenye machini ilikua mbovu hadi kuharibika beyond repare ilikua inatibu hata wagonjwa wa kutoka Rwanda,Burundi,South sudan.... most likely walikua more than 30, kwahio this is more of proximity to the nearest cheap hospital


The treatments will be paid for by Aga Khan University’s (AKU) Patient Welfare Programme, which is funded by the hospital and augmented by individual and corporate donors and provides subsidised medical care to needy patients.
The Ugandan government has also agreed to pay for the 400 patients’ accommodation and food as well as for those of a relative or friend if an attendant is needed.
The government says it has purchased a new radiotherapy machine and it should be up and running in six months, once a special bunker has been built to house the radioactive equipment at Mulago Hospital in Kampala.
Other treatments are still available in Uganda, but the cancer institute at Mulago Hospital says that three-quarters of the 44,000 new cancer patients in Uganda last year needed radiotherapy.
Patients from Rwanda, Burundi and South Sudan are also referred to Mulago Hospital for radiotherapy.
