Kenya yapata PET CT scanner ya kwanza Afrika Mashariki na Afrika ya Kati

[MK254]

Baada ya rais Uhuru kuwafungulia Waafrika kuja Kenya bila vizuizi, tukianza hivi kuwa na vifaa vya kisasa vya kipekee ukanda wote huu, nafikiri nchi yetu itanufaika pakubwa. Wengi wataanza kutua hapa badala ya kwenda nchi za mbali kama India.

Cancer patients will be able to get PET CT scan services in Kenya after the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi acquired the first imaging test machine in East and Central Africa.

The ultra-modern Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT scanner and Cyclotron is currently being installed at the hospital's oncology unit ahead of its launch in March 2018.

CEO Shawn Bolouki said the machine will revolutionise cancer care and treatment in the country.

"This will enable doctors to identify health threats at the cell-level thus giving them the best view and time of treatment for complex diseases such as cancer and heart diseases, brain and other central nervous system problems, thereby improving treatment outcomes." Bolouki said in a statement.
The technology was acquired at an approximate cost Sh600 million.

A cyclotron is a type of compact particle accelerator used to produce small quantities of radioactive isotopes which is required for PET imaging.

Head of the oncology Asim Jamal said information generated from PET CT scans enable oncologists to make better treatment and follow up plans for cancer patients.
In certain cancer situations, the information is critical in making decisions regarding treatment options including surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy.

"This technologycan reveals the presence and stage of cancer, including whether and where the cancer has spread to, and help doctors decide on treatment," Jamal said.

He added: "PET/CT also gives us an indication of how well chemotherapy is working and can detect a recurring tumour sooner than any other diagnostic modalities."
Data from Health ministry released early this year showed that some 116 patients suffering from non communicable diseases travelled to India between January and March this year in search of medical treatment.

Cancer patients made up 57.8 per cent, 16.8 per cent sought renal disease treatment, 7.8 per cent sought treatment for cardiovascular disease while skeletal disorders accounted for 3.4 per cent.

Kama vile 5th Dec waziri wa afya Uganda alisafirishwa Kenya kwasababu ya food poisoning, saa zengine si waafrica bana

Pet ct scans are realy good, though kinda expecive partly coz they are the work horses of frontline nuclear medicine...Realy good acquisition but am sure the pricing is going to be steep for most folks to afford. For cancer tumour markers to be specific it realy works wonders, took someone to abbotabad last year and was impressed!

Tatizo ninaloliona kwa Kenya, serikali imeshindwa kabisa kuzijengea uwezo public Hospitals, wameachia private Hospitals kutawala huduma zote za kibingwa, hii mashine itakuwa ghali sana kwa raia wa kawaida kuweza kuitumia, Magufuli amekubali kununua mwanzoni mwa mwaka ujao na itakuwa pale Ocean Road Hospital, it will be ten times cheaper than hiyo ya private hapo Kenya, raia wengi wa Kenya wataendelea kuja ocean road cancer institute kufuata huduma zenye bei nafuu.

Hivi hii ndio Mwalimu alimuomba JPM amnunulie pale ocean road, Magufuli akareply on spot your request is accepted?

Ndiyo hiyo mkuu, yaani public Hospitals za Tanzania, zipo level moja na Karen and Nairobi Hospitals kwa vifaa vya kisasa, serikali ya Kenya haishughuliki kabisa kuzinunulia vifaa hospitali zake, Kenya haiwajali sana wananchi masikini

 

[Kafrican]

Among the 10 best hospitals in Africa, two are from Kenya both of which are not even in Nairobi, one is the expensive Diani Beach Hotel in Mombasa, the other one is a non-expensive Mission hospital in Rift Valley close to the Uganda border

Dah basi wana hali ngumu sana, hospitals nyingi zenye huduma nzuri ni private hospitals huko Kenya inashangaza mtu anamtuoa mgonjwa wake government hospitals na kumpeleka private hospitals kama referral hospitals wakati Tanzania serikali ndio yenye huduma za hali ya juu ya afya.

Mlalahoi lazima afe Kenya Nafikiri hata kiwango cha national health insurance huko kwao ni mara 5 ya Tanzania kuendana na huduma covered na insurance yako.

I love art of statistics.

Bad thing is ....the Scanner does not belong to the goverment.!!

Hahaha asee hawa jamaa wawili bana, mnafaana kweli. Kuna ile comedy show ya Churchill inafaa mfike audition zake kama duo. Very funny, kama wale mbilikimo wawili wa Naija.

Mkuu, unaweza kuona tofauti kati ya ubepari na ujamaa, huduma za jamii chini ya ubepari zipo chini ya private sector na zipo ghali sana, maisha chini ya ubepari ni survival for the fittest, ujamaa unaamini kwenye usawa hivyo huduma zote za msingi zinabebwa na serikali kwa kiasi kikubwa ili kupunguza mzigo kwa wananchi waweze kuzimudu, ndivyo Obama care ilivyotaka kufanya, Trump ni bepari haipendi hiyo sera.
