As the country continues to grapple with the cancer scourge, Coastal region county governments have been urged to intensify awareness campaigns to promote early screening and treatment.
People of all ages braved Mombasa's early morning scorching sun that fiercely blazed from the sky with its rays pouring down like molten spears, searing the earth and shimmering off the parched ground to walk for ten kilometres to raise awareness of cancer and other non-communicable diseases.
The walk was organised by Zambezi Hospital in collaboration with Al-Zak Medical Clinic and BF Suma began at the Holy Ghost Cathedral.
Organisers used the walk to encourage residents to go for an early screening for cancer for better management and treatment of the scourge.
