Early detection = better outcomes. Up to 80% of childhood cancers can be treated if caught in time. Parents, teachers & caregivers, don’t ignore the signs. Consult a healthcare provider. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CCAM2025

Children with cancer may not always show symptoms. Early detection and treatment improve outcomes. All children under 5 should be screened for Retinoblastoma (eye cancer) during routine MCH clinic visits. #ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth #CCAM2025
Early detection leads to better outcomes. Health workers: keep a high index of suspicion and refer suspected cases to KNH, MTRH, KUTRRH, Kisii Level 5, Kijabe, or Gertrude’s. Learn more about childhood cancer on the MOH Virtual Academy: elearning.health.go.ke
Many childhood cancers are treatable if detected early. If you notice unusual symptoms in your child, don’t wait - consult a healthcare provider promptly. Be alert to these warning signs: Early action can save lives. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #EarlyDetection #HopeForChildren
In 2018, @WHO & @StJude launched the Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC) to raise survival rates to 60% by 2030. In Africa, where survival can be as low as 20%, this initiative is a beacon of hope for children and families. #ChildhoodCancerAwareness #GICC
Childhood cancer is not preventable like many adult cancers. Control efforts must focus on: - Early & accurate diagnosis - Access to quality comprehensive care - Comprehensive medical cover - Treatment adherence & follow-up Every child deserves the chance to survive & thrive.
The NCCP is honoured to have participated in the opening of the GICR Regional Cancer Registry Training & Mentorship Course at KEMRI, Nairobi. The course brought together participants from 12 Sub-Saharan countries to enhance cancer registration and surveillance. #ZuiaCancer
September is #ChildhoodCancerAwareness, a time to raise awareness, highlight the key role of stakeholders, and encourage community participation in tackling the challenges of childhood cancer. Join us in spreading hope, support, and solidarity for children and families affected.
📣 This afternoon, the National Cancer Control Programme met with the KENCO board for an introductory session, an important step toward building stronger partnerships in the fight against cancer. #ZuiaCancer #Collaboration
The Cancer Treatment Guidelines Validation Workshop brings together experts and stakeholders to refine Kenya’s cancer treatment guidelines. This aligns with the mission - to reduce morbidity & mortality and improve quality of life for patients by 2028. #ZuiaCancer #CancerCare
Dr. Bashir, Head of the Directorate of Family Health, toured the Cancer and NCD Division booth at #DevolutionConference2025, highlighting the importance of tackling cancer and other non-communicable diseases. #CancerAwareness #NCDs #ZuiaCancer
