Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has pledged a major upgrade to its Cancer Centre following persistent patient complaints about system delays and outdated equipment. The transformation aims to establish a world-class facility with state-of-the-art technology.

• The upgrade addresses long waiting times, frequent machine breakdowns, and outdated technology.
• Dr. Richard Lesiyampe, CEO of KNH, acknowledged the validity of patient concerns and committed to acquiring advanced radiotherapy and diagnostic equipment.
• KNH is Kenya’s largest referral facility, treating oncology patients since 1968, and the modernization plan seeks to restore confidence in public cancer care.
