SUMMARY:TOPIC: Paediatric Malignancies; Optimising Care In Acute Leukaemia
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]We directed our focus on hematology and this time we concentrated on pediatric malignancies. Dr. Jamila Rajab Consultant Haematologist\, Dr. Grace Mbatia Paediatric Oncologist and Dr Festus Njuguna Paediatric Oncologist. We got a glimpse on the myriad challenges our colleagues in hematology face in the management of pediatric hematological malignancies including complicated regimens\, high rate of drop outs and poor supportive care. The outcome was to continue in the process of development of national treatment protocols that can be used which can also help in comparing treatment outcomes in the different settings.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Topic: Acute Leukaemia
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] \nProf. Nicholas Abinya Medical Oncologist and Dr. Anne Mwirigi Haematologist gave stimulating perspectives on their care of patients with AML in a public versus a private setting. This led to discussions on collaborations on improving standards of care in our country and in particular with regards to supportive care and financing. KESHO is now engaging with NHIF and the NCCP to outline a treatment package for these patients that factor other costs apart from direct chemotherapy drugs. \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
