In Kenya, cancer patients can breathe a sigh of relief after the installation of a new cancer machine in Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH). The hospital has acquired an ultra-modern Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT scanner and Cyclotron from GE Healthcare. The PET CT machine is a molecular imaging system that gives an accurate indication of the progress of cancer in its earliest stages. Through the acquisition of this specialised system, AKUH has reaffirmed its premier status as the leading provider of quality clinical care, teaching and research in sub-Saharan Africa.
