"content": "We have a major problem of corruption in Kenya. I heard someone saying that corruption has become cancer. I thought that is very bad because, instead of treating cancer so that we can eliminate it, we are now equating it to corruption. That is very bad for the cancer patients in this country who are suffering. We are equating them to corruption. We need to find out where that money is so that we can re-invest it in cancer institutions, training and spreading cancer centres across the country, so that patients are treated. We also have palliative care because after treatment, support and medicines are very expensive. As we train oncologists, we need to look at those areas so that the support that is given to cancer patients is real, affordable and within reach. That way, they can move on with their lives. I get cases of patients who are not even able to go for palliative care and it is very painful for their families and themselves."
