Dr Festus Njuguna, in charge of the pediatric oncology unit at Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in Eldoret, explains that not all elective surgeries are non-urgent, and not all are minor. Some delayed surgeries, though, may cause harm, especially in aggressive forms of cancers. Harm is also in delayed diagnosis. Marian Wangui, from Githunguri in Kiambu County, found a lump under her breast. In fear, the 41-year-old sought medical advice and was instructed to go for tests in July 2020. She got a breast ultrasound at the Kiambu Level 5 Hospital, but it took months for the results to return. The anguish of waiting was unbearable as “I feared that if it was cancer, and that it would spread,” recalled Wangui adding that she had no choice but to refer herself to the Kenyatta National Hospital on December 2, 2020. A month later, results revealed she had Stage Two breast cancer. Chemotherapy was scheduled right away.
