Why is cancer a worry for Kenya?
b'
All over the world, as life expectancy increases and people grow older, more people will have to deal with cancer. The good news is that treatment has improved and over the last 40 years global survival rates have improved dramatically. \\n \\nBut what about when people don\\u2019t have access to medical care or preventative screening because of shortages of experts or facilities?\\n \\nLast year Kenya\\u2019s National Cancer Taskforce compiled a report which called for the training of more oncologists and other experts, free screening programmes and a reduction in the cost of medicine and treatment. \\n \\nBut how have those challenges been felt by those most affected?\\n \\nFor Africa Daily, @mpholakaje speaks to Lilian, who\\u2019s recovered from breast cancer, and Dr James Mbogo \\u2013 who trained to become an oncologist after the death of his father from cancer.
