31st Oct, 2025 – Central Region, Othaya, Nyeri County.
The nation-wide campaign in commemoration of the Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues as the National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCI-K) partners with Mwai Kibaki Referral Hospital, AstraZeneca, Microbiology East Africa Limited, and Grounds for Health, in Othaya, Nyeri County.
This activity is aimed at improving community engagement and promoting cancer prevention through free cancer screening services, including breast, cervical, and prostate cancer, as well as public education and awareness sessions.
Also featured are patient journey experiences and survivor testimonials aimed at inspiring patients and caregivers while fostering a deeper understanding of cancer care and management.
Throughout these exercises, NCI-K aims to:
1. Promote awareness of breast, cervical, and prostate cancers, with a focus on early detection, timely intervention, and preventive measures.
2. Provide free cancer screening services to at least 500 individuals from the surrounding community.
3. Educate and empower the public on healthy lifestyle practices and self-examination techniques that contribute to cancer risk reduction.
4. Strengthen partnerships among collaborating institutions and community stakeholders to support sustainable cancer control initiatives.
5. Encourage continuous screening and follow-up care through established community health structures and hospital-based clinics.
As we strive to achieve our mission of reducing cancer incidence in the country, we urge members of the public to take advantage of these free cancer screening initiatives. Remember, early detection saves lives; your life matters.
