The Council of Governors (CoG) has rejected a proposal by the Ministry of Health to retain cancer treatment and management saying the move would increase the burden of patients seeking cancer care.
CoG chairman Josphat Nanok said the reversal of the function would disadvantage Kenyans by recentralising equipment and cancer care. This means a patient in Garissa, for instance, would have to travel to Nairobi to access cancer services, he said.
