RFI: How to Start a Cancer Centre at KNH
----------------------------------------

Dear Readers,

I am a hospital planner who is planning to start a Cancer Centre for 
Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Kenya in large. KNH is the largest 
national referral and teaching hospital in Kenya. It has the largest 
and busiest facilities in treating cancer in East and Central Africa. 
The statistics have shown that the cancer cases are on the rise as the 
days go by. The costs of treating patients are very high especially the 
purchase of drugs. It is our hope to start a centre, which will be 
dealing solely with these cases and have room to explore donations
especially for drugs and maintain and repair of facilities.

I would therefore appreciate any comment on setting up the Cancer Cen-
tre at Kenyatta National Hospital. This is now in the planning stages 
where we like collecting all kind of information before appraising and 
undertaking the project.

Thanks,

James Mwenda Murwithania
