Principal Secretary Mary Muthoni held a productive meeting with the Ambassador of Sweden to Kenya, H.E Caroline Vicini.
The discussions centered around exploring collaborations throughout the entire cancer management value chain.
Focus areas included raising awareness of cancer, developing screening programmes, and improving treatment options.
Through substantial investments in the field, the Kenyan government has demonstrated its dedication to improving cancer prevention, treatment, and management services.
The Ministry of Health is actively looking for strategic collaborations as part of its ongoing efforts to guarantee affordable and top-notch cancer services for all citizens.
Swedish pharmaceutical firms AstraZeneca and Elekta have already been helpful partners to the Ministry of Health, aiding cancer treatment and vaccination distribution.
Also in order to advance the Universal Health Coverage (UHC) goal, the Principal Secretary emphasized that the government intends to take advantage of these current relationships.
