RE: INVITATION TO PARTNER IN CANCER WALK 2015
Kilele
Foundation, Livestrong Kenya, Africa Without Cancer and The Zambezi
Hospital Ltd. do wish to introduce
the partnership proposals
in fighting the cancer endemic.
Cancer has been identified
as a silent killer in our communities especially because of low level of awareness, late presentation and diagnosis and lack of affordable facilities for cancer management. This affects the people and has a negative impact on the workforce
thus burdening the business
enterprises and government agencies.
In the light of the above,
we have organized a cancer walk to be held on 7th February 2015
in commemoration with the world
cancer day. This
will be flagged
off at 7.30 am from Nyayo
stadium. The event
will be preceded
by a medical camp at The Zambezi
Hospital on 6th February 2015 featuring a number
of FREE activities including;
·
Screening persons
for cancer.
·
Examination and consultancy for cancer patients.
·
Cancer education.
·
Cancer survivors counseling and support.
·
Cases requiring
specialized treatment locally
will be treated at The Zambezi Hospital
and other selected
hospitals in Kenya with cancer management specialist.
The Zambezi Hospital will also partner
with King David
Medicine from Israel
and a number of prominent medical practitioners
internationally. To facilitate this event The Zambezi Hospital
is seeking your support in the following areas;
·
Financial aid to sponsor
various activities aimed
at mitigating the impact of cancer on our communities
·
Material support
i.e. medicines, personnel, security etc.
·
Media and publicity.
The main purpose of the walk is
to buy a mammogram machine at a cost
of 5million. This will enable us offer mammography test at subsidized
prices. Monies received will also sponsor disadvantaged cancer patients who are
not able to pay their bills. Other funds will be distributed as follows:
a)

b)
