The urgency behind this directive stems from a recent breakdown of the only Linear Accelerator (LINAC) Elekta machine at the Kenyatta Referral Hospital. This unfortunate event left countless patients in a state of uncertainty, highlighting the pressing need for collaborative efforts in the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During a recent health event, CS Duale stressed the importance of strategic partnerships and resource-sharing among key health institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main aim is to enhance the quality and accessibility of cancer treatment across the country. The unveiling of the Cyclotron 11 MeV machine marks a significant milestone in Kenya&#8217;s fight against cancer. This cutting-edge technology plays a crucial role in early cancer detection and precision therapy, offering hope to patients in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"470\" height=\"235\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/duale-health-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5956\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/duale-health-1.jpeg 470w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/duale-health-1-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sup>Health CS Aden Duale during a meeting with the Development Partners in Health, Kenya (DPHK) on June 3, 2025.
