    "content": "at that stage, people will be in their final days. If screening is done early enough, there will be a respite or medication might be found. Currently, there are only a few hospitals in Nairobi where Kenyans seek cancer treatment or where Kenyans go for, what is now famously coined as, medical tourism to India. If we take the amount of money we take to India, then national Government should begin thinking of having a cancer centre in every county. If every referral hospital in all those counties is a cancer centre, we will save a lot of money. The other area that we really need to think about is on the study and research of cancer. What scientifically is out there is that, somewhere in our lives, majority of persons living are likely to have some form of cancer. For that to be dealt with, it is only through research and studies in our universities, institutions of higher learning, or specialised institutions like Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) and others. So, in terms of awareness and dealing with cancer, we will be a country that within our region we will be placed highly. We could be a beacon of hope in this region to help others and ourselves. I thank you."
