On 6 August 2019,the Nairobi City County Government started offering free cancer screening in Nairobi County hospitals in a bid to raise awareness of the disease and also help Nairobi residents to know state of their health.
The exercise will run for the whole week at Mama Lucy and Mbagathi Hospitals.
The county government is also in the process of ensuring residents of informal settlements in Nairobi are all covered by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF).
