Overview
The UK-Kenya Health Global Innovation Network shatters knowledge silos and ignites collaborative action. We bridge the gap between cutting-edge UK expertise and Kenyan ingenuity, co-creating accessible, affordable solutions to conquer Kenya’s cancer challenges. The main objective of this network is to improve accessibility and affordability of early cancer screening, detection and diagnosis rates in Kenya.
About the event
This launch event will bring together key stakeholders, experts and practitioners from the healthcare and innovation sectors in Kenya and UK, with the primary goal of creating a conducive networking platform for sharing knowledge, resources and opportunities with a specific focus on advancing early diagnosis and detection of four prevalent cancers: breast, prostate, and cervical.
Together we will introduce a new collaborative network that aims to forge partnerships between African and UK organisations and fuel a revolution in early cancer detection and diagnosis.
We look forward to seeing you online!
