Aga Khan turbocharges cancer care in East Africa with AI-powered TrueBeam technology

In a landmark move for regional oncology, the Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi (AKUH) has unveiled the TrueBeam Radiotherapy System - an artificial intelligence-enabled platform designed to deliver high-precision radiation therapy. The technology, developed by Varian Medical Systems, will offer patients more accurate targeting, fewer side effects, and significantly shorter treatment windows. “TrueBeam allows us to deliver radiation with an unprecedented level of precision,” said Dr. Angela Waweru, Section Head of Radiotherapy at AKUH. “By minimising exposure to nearby organs, we can reduce side effects and support faster recovery for our patients.”
