They acknowledged the Institute&#8217;s growing impact in coordinating the national cancer control agenda and pledged to engage relevant government agencies to address the budgetary challenges affecting its operations.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Committee further stressed the importance of strengthening cancer research as a key pillar in reducing the country&#8217;s cancer burden. \u003Cstrong>Hon. Dr. Robert Pukose\u003C/strong>, Member of Parliament for Endebess Constituency, emphasized that increased investment in research is critical to generating evidence that informs cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and policy decisions. He called for enhanced funding to enable the Institute to establish and sustain robust cancer research programmes, a position that received unanimous support from the Committee members.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting also explored the management of Regional Cancer Centres across the country. \u003Cstrong>Hon. Pauline Lenguris\u003C/strong>, Woman Representative for Samburu County, raised the need to strengthen the governance and coordination of these centres and proposed that their management be placed under the National Cancer Institute of Kenya to promote uniform standards, enhance coordination, and improve service delivery nationwide. The Committee noted the proposal for further consideration as part of ongoing discussions on strengthening cancer care systems.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his remarks, \u003Cstrong>Dr. Timothy Olweny\u003C/strong>, Chairperson of the NCI-K Board of Trustees, thanked the Parliamentary Health Committee for its continued support and oversight, noting that Parliament plays a critical role in creating an enabling environment for effective cancer control through legislation, policy support, and adequate resource allocation.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visit reaffirmed the shared commitment between Parliament and the National Cancer Institute of Kenya to strengthen the country&#8217;s cancer response through increased investment, strategic partnerships, research, and sustainable financing.

Governor Gideon Maitha Mung&#8217;aro, was attended by H.E. Arnaud Suquet, Ambassador of France to Kenya, Mr. Amin Mawji, OBE, Diplomatic Representative of the Aga Khan Development Network in Kenya, representatives from the Ministry of Health, county leadership, development partners, and other key stakeholders committed to strengthening cancer care services in Kenya.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The establishment of the Cancer Centre marks a significant step towards improving access to quality cancer care for residents of Kilifi County and the wider Coastal region. For many years, patients seeking oncology services have been forced to travel long distances to access specialized treatment, often resulting in financial hardship, delayed care, and poor treatment outcomes. The introduction of chemotherapy services at the facility will bring life-saving treatment closer to patients and improve timely access to cancer care.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NCI-Kenya played a critical role in supporting the realization of this milestone as part of its mandate to coordinate and promote cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, palliative care, research, and partnerships across the country. Through close collaboration with the Ministry of Health, Kilifi County Government, the National Cancer Control Programme, development partners, and healthcare institutions, NCI-K continues to support efforts aimed at decentralizing cancer services and strengthening cancer care infrastructure at the county level.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch of the centre aligns with Kenya&#8217;s broader objective of expanding access to comprehensive cancer care and reducing disparities in service delivery. It also reflects the growing impact of strategic partnerships in advancing the national cancer control agenda.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking ahead, Kilifi County has outlined plans to further strengthen the facility by establishing comprehensive oncology services, including radiotherapy through the acquisition of a Linear Accelerator (LINAC) and enhanced breast cancer screening through investment in digital mammography technology. These developments will contribute significantly to improving cancer outcomes through timely diagnosis and treatment.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Speaking during the event, leaders acknowledged the importance of collaboration in making the project a reality. NCI-Kenya was recognized as one of the key partners whose technical support, coordination, and commitment contributed to the successful establishment of the Cancer Centre. The commissioning of the Kilifi County Cancer Centre marks a significant milestone in Kenya&#8217;s journey towards equitable cancer care. The facility brings hope to patients and families by expanding access to quality cancer services closer to home and reducing the burden of travelling long distances for treatment. NCI-Kenya remains committed to working with national and county governments, healthcare providers, and development partners to strengthen cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, and care services across the country.\u003C/p>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u003C/p>\n",{"rendered":95,"protected":17},"\u003Cp>The National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCI-K) joined Kilifi County, development partners, and stakeholders in celebrating a major milestone in Kenya&#8217;s cancer control efforts with the official commissioning of the first-ever Cancer Centre at Kilifi County Referral Hospital.
