Cancer in Kenya -The harsh reality
Kenyans are slowly coming into grips with cancer, a deadly disease that many perceived to be for the west and the rich. Though statistics remain scanty, Pact Kenya Cancer Assessment estimates that 50 people die every day from different forms of cancer while 80,000 new diagnoses are done each year.
Such figures are scary, given the fact that the country has limited facilities to diagnose and treat the disease.
