Cancer BurdenA decade ago in East Africa, there were an estimated 175,000 persons living with cancer, and that number has dramatically increased
Cancer projected to become the leading cause of death in sub-Saharan Africa over the next few years.
![Page 11: History of kesho by dr catherine nyongesa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042518/55a75c971a28ab91148b45e2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cancer Burden in KenyaCancer has now been established to rank third locally as a killer, after infections and cardiovascular diseases
The fight against cancer cannot be left in the hands of physicians alone
Other stakeholders must be involved
Governments and policy makers cannot be left out

Cancer Burden in Kenya
In the case of Kenya the population is roughly 40million.
The new cases being reported with cancer is about 41,000 annually
![Page 15: History of kesho by dr catherine nyongesa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042518/55a75c971a28ab91148b45e2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Cancer Burden in KenyaThe incidence of cancer in Kenya has been rising steadily over the last decade
The HIV/AIDS pandemic, population growth, change in lifestyle and environment, are some of the factors contributing to the rise in cancer cases
Most of the patients present in late stage disease and end up getting palliative rather than curative treatment
![Page 16: History of kesho by dr catherine nyongesa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042518/55a75c971a28ab91148b45e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Cancer Burden in Kenya
Unfortunately, as the threat of early death and disability from chronic diseases like cancer grows in sub-Saharan Africa
Accessing cancer screening and treatment is one of the major hurdles cancer patients face.
![Page 17: History of kesho by dr catherine nyongesa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042518/55a75c971a28ab91148b45e2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cancer Burden in KenyaProvision of healthcare in Kenya is the responsibility of the Government
Funding for health services has been greatly overstretched by the HIV/AIDS pandemic
resulting in inadequate budgetary allocations for development of specialized services like cancer treatment
![Page 18: History of kesho by dr catherine nyongesa](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022042518/55a75c971a28ab91148b45e2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Cancer Burden in KenyaKenya has few Cancer Centre's that are well equipped to treat cancer patients
Looking at the astronomical numbers of cancer cases, there is tremendous pressure on the existing facilities to handle all these cases effectively.
According to these figures, the plight of people with cancer in Kenya is dire and sometimes hopeless at best.
