Kenya has consolidated its position as a regional medical hub with the opening of a Sh4.5 billion ($50 million) heart and cancer centre in Nairobi on Monday.
The centre at the Aga Khan University Hospital is equipped with the latest screening and treatment technologies. It will also be the first in the region to do research on heart and cancer diseases that is Africa specific.
“The centre will offer specialised fellowship training in heart and cancer diseases — training that is not available in the East African region today.
“We are going to recruit outstanding faculty from around the world, including East Africans who have been studying and practising abroad,” said the university’s chancellor, The Aga Khan.
