First Lady Margaret Kenyatta launches the Aga Khan University Hospital Kshs 600 million PET CT Scanner and Cyclotron Machine

I am delighted to have joined the Aga Khan University Hospital fraternity for the launch of an ultra-modern Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT scanner and a Cyclotron machine, the first of its kind in East and Central Africa and the 4th only in Africa.

I applaud the effort, devotion and dedication made by the Hospital for its continued search for innovation and the investment of over 600 million Ksh in this ultra-modern machine that will go a long way in transforming the health of Kenyans seeking cancer treatment and other chronic illnesses.

I am confident that through such vibrant public private partnerships, our Government will deliver quality and transformative medical care for its people and achieve the promise of universal healthcare for all #AKUHNPETCTLaunch #EarlyCancerDetection

While others are launching satellites into orbit ,we are launching hospital equipments .God bless Kenya.

Satellites in orbit do not diagnose diseases.

You missed my point entirely…actually rocketed past it.

Didn’t even see it…

Cyclotron Center,sounds like StarWars…a center for aliens. But again,cancerous cells are aliens in our bodies. Damn!

Sad.
But you’d be surprised to know that we have a space agency, gazetted last year. The board of managers, however, were only appointed last month after we embarrased ourselves hosting a space conference.
Anyway, sad.

Be serious. We hosted a space conference? Where?

Good ambition, but everyone has their own pace. We all cannot be at the same level. Such is life. The most important thing is making forward steps.

Hapo umenikamata Li’l sister! My bad.

:D:D:D

I’d rather this than those governors that were launching bridges, school chairs, cows etc

It was a forum rather.

All I can say is that Aga Khan has one of the most accomplished cancer doctor in the country…God bless Prof. Wasike

Some of those who have launched satelites do not have PET scanners…like Ghana, it is all where priority stops.

Cows… :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Yes you go to neptune and get treatment over there.
Have a pleasant journey…

@spear when will they start building the eldoret referral hospital?

It has currently at public participation phase. So depending on feedback from local people and leaders, then possible changes to meet them, say in 9 months.

On completion it will be the biggest hospital in East and Central Africa.

Hehehe…funny because that is what most Kenyans earning low bracket incomes say about visiting The aga khan hospital for treatment.
And don’t tell me about using NHIF relief unless you have used it in that specific hospital

Good Progress nonetheless

Where they will announce high quality medical care affordable to common mwananchi I will celebrate. Si hii Aga Khan that purports to be a charity but charges extortionist prices for services. Upuzi
