The National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) is set to fully cover the cost of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) CT scans at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) in Nairobi, the first facility in East and Central Africa to introduce such services. Prof Vinayak, from AKUH, said the machines will enable physicians to study a patient’s body in extraordinary detail, allowing them to diagnose diseases early and plan the most effective course of treatment. The PET-CT scanner will also be used in the diagnosis and management of other conditions.
