The just concluded National Cancer Summit marked a significant milestone in Kenya’s cancer care landscape with the official launch of the National Radiotherapy Treatment Protocol. This new protocol is a significant step towards standardizing and improving the quality of radiotherapy services across the country.
The new protocol provides a unified framework for healthcare professionals, ensuring that all patients, regardless of their location, receive consistent and evidence-based radiotherapy treatment. This is a critical move to address the disparities in care and to ensure that cancer patients are treated according to the latest national and international guidelines.
The protocol is expected to enhance treatment outcomes and minimize side effects. The launch of this document at the National Cancer Summit shows the government’s commitment to tackling the growing burden of cancer by investing in comprehensive and high-quality care. It represents a collaborative effort by oncologists, physicists, and other cancer experts to elevate the standard of radiotherapy and provide the best possible care for cancer patients in Kenya.
