the most refreshing news this weekend was about Anyang Nyong'os new mission in life. A mission to see to it that Kenya has facilities to treat cancer! I believe rather than following the politicking lot, we should all lend a hand in this endevour!

With Kenya having an annual budget of close to a trillion the govt should set aside 10 billion or so so set up a modern facilities to tackle specifically cancer and kidney failure related problems! Why not make is mandatory to have a modern functional dialysis equipment is each provincial hospital for example

Its so little an amount, yet its a matter of life and death to alot of families having patients with cancer or patient who have to queue at Kenyatta national hospital for a dialysis!

Its a worthy cause, better than this ICC deferral stuff!

my 5 cents

These are good intentions but misplaced priorities. We should strive to treat more common illnesses such as malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia. Maternal deaths in Kenya are some of the highest in the world. We should sort out our provision of primary care first, which is inexpensive. Setting up cancer centres is like constructing airports in migori while the roads are awful. Train more medical personnel to deal with common ailments,train more public health workers(who should be employed)

@peglo thats the problem right there, the government policies are driven by emotions.Cancer cases have been increasing especially among kids nothing concrete has ever been done to alleviate the problem, now since a minister has been diagnosed with one, its being treated as a government priority.

The most interesting thing is how the minister joined the divisive local politics upon his arrival by promising to deal with the people attacking the PM.When will he get the time to lobby the government for more funding of cancer diagnostic and treatment equipment when he is embroiled in the 2012 politics.

More action than talk is needed to fight this disease.

Nyong'o could acheive a lot by shelving the proposed extortionate NHIF plan. Not every problem can be solved by throwing money or emotions at it. If well thought out, the NHIF thing could go a long way in achieving his mission, but I am not holding my breath waiting for his announcement.

The fact is that Kenya's healthcare system is in the gutters and no one is doing anything to reform it. The result as someone has pointed out is that so many Kenyans especially kids under 5 die of preventable diseases. Sorting the mess in the healthcare system will never happen using the top bottom approach the professor is advocating.

@McBhang, is she lady I saw last night on K24 who had her entire Colo,Rectum and an*** removed?
I felt for her, aki.I pray for her.Pray

@Njung'e, and now to achieve the Nyong's latest drive for health, he is now determined more than ever before to ensure that you pay more money under NHIF;kindu 5K if u earn more than 100K.

It is a pity that it took having cancer for the Prof to get the real picture on the lack of cancer care centers in Kenya...

I am assuming he has the real picture.. So many people have died waiting for care!!!!

Incidentally, his late brother was a very good pathologist who sadly died in a nasty accident on Ngong Rd (Near Uchumi Hyper), he was then the Chief Pathologist at Nairobi Hospital.
....above all, to stand.

This Nyong'o story is funny, this guy is talking like he has just discovered this cancer disease like Isaac Newton and the gravity stuff. I thought that upon arrival he would declare war on cancer by setting a Nyong'o foundation, only for the guy to declare war on Raila's enemies. @Peglo you need to tell us where we are joining him coz there isn't a cause/mission for us to follow him to.
