September 2022 at Hill Park Hotel to commemorate the Childhood Cancer Awareness
Month; an annual event celebrated in September worldwide.
The two-day conference attracted multidisciplinary participants from various counties in Kenya. The health experts from fields such as neurosurgery, paediatrics, nursing, nutrition, counseling, general medicine, and much more held discussions on ways to manage and enhance capacity in childhood cancer care in Kenya.
This year’s theme is ‘Better Survival is Achievable, Through Your Hands,’ and the aim is to bring to light the various types of childhood cancers, diagnosis, causes, early warning signs and treatment options available.This hospital initiative will be an annual event that will commit to improving and supporting universal health care, particularly in paediatric cancer care. It is important to look out for the early warning signs of cancer in children to boost treatment and eliminate it as one of the leading causes of death in children and adolescents.
Childhood cancer can be treated and is curable if diagnosed early!
