Testimonials of Merck Foundation Alumni

“The need to improve the quality of cancer care in Kenya is critical. Especially in the setting of the growing cancer burden in Kenya and the high mortality rate that accompanies it. Also, most of the cancer patients in Kenya have to travel out of the country to seek treatment due to the high local treatment costs and the shortage of specialists.

The ‘Merck Foundation Medical Oncology Fellowship’ in partnership with the University of Nairobi, aptly suits our need of increasing the number of trained oncologists in the continent. Thank you, Merck Foundation.”
