Doctors at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital have successfully removed a rare abnormal growth in the neck of a four-year-old boy.
First of its kind, the surgery was carried out by a multidisciplinary team of doctors to remove the Glomus Vagale tumour, a growth on one of the nerves on a risky part of the neck.
The minor’s father, Kiuka Domongolui, from West Pokot County said his son, Lopeyok Chesirwen, developed breathing and feeding difficulties a year ago but could not get basic medical attention.

Jossy Ndung’u began experiencing persistent headaches, vomiting and unexplained weight loss before developing a scrotal swelling in May 2018. A doctor in Nakuru County instructed that he underwent urgent surgery.
“The medics removed a tumour weighing 270 grams from my scrotum,” recalls Ndung’u who at 21 had testicular cancer.
He did six sessions of chemotherapy and 25 others of radiotherapy at the Oncology unit at the Nakuru Level Five Hospital, leaving him financially and emotionally drained.
To know whether one has testicular cancer, all a man needs is to do a pregnancy test just like a woman. A positive result means one has cancer.

There was panic in various health facilities in Nakuru and Siaya counties after two plants that supply them with medical oxygen stopped production after their machines malfunctioned.
The two plants, belonging to a firm called Hewatele, stopped production of oxygen for about four hours on Monday night.
This came as reports indicated three patients had died of Covid-19-related complications in Nakuru County due to lack of oxygen.
However, county health executive Gichuki Kariuki dismissed the reports saying the patients did not die due to lack of oxygen.
