I am happy for Prof Nyong'o successful treatment and return to the country. As he's put it himself, only a few residents of the developing world are lucky enough to be diagnose with cancer in time and subsequently afford timely treatment.
A glimpse at the recent data reveals our expectancy rates are trending upwards. As evidence would have it as a population lives longer it tends to contract diseases that are otherwise thought to be western.
I therefore hope Prof Nyong'o will walk the talk and ensure that he, as the Minister of Medical Services, institutes measures to ensure the government invests in preventing and curing cancer, heart conditions, diabets etc. This however should not be misconstrued as to mean that traditional diseases should be forgotten about.
