A recent modelling study by researchers from the University of Birmingham shows that Kenyan health facilities will need about seven months to clear the backlog of all cancelled surgical procedures. Dr Majid Twahir, Associate Dean of clinical services at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi, says postponing surgeries is a wrong move that may make patients' conditions deteriorate. He stated: "For those who have postponed treatments, surgeries, procedures, vaccinations and clinics, it is important to rethink this decision."
