The Kenyan government has raised the Social Health Authority's oncology treatment package from Ksh550,000 to Ksh800,000 per patient. Interior Principal Secretary Raymond Omollo announced the increase on March 16, 2026, amid public outcry over treatment costs. The package covers diagnosis, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, brachytherapy, surgical interventions, palliative care, consumables, and specialised imaging like PET/CT scans and MRIs at contracted facilities.
