Survivorship Advocacy for Sustainable Impact

Cancer survivorship does not end with treatment. It includes recovery, follow-up care, physical and mental wellbeing, financial health, dignity, advocacy and the voices of survivors themselves.

As part of KICC 2026, KESHO will host a full-day interactive workshop focused on advancing survivorship-centered cancer care through lived experience, advocacy, policy dialogue and action.

Date: 18 November 2026
Venue: Sarova Whitesands Hotel, Mombasa
Format: Full-day interactive workshop

The workshop is open to survivors, caregivers, advocates, clinicians, researchers, policymakers, civil society leaders and health financing stakeholders.

Key focus areas include:
โ–ช๏ธPhysical Wellness
โ–ช๏ธMental Wellness
โ–ช๏ธSocial & Spiritual Wellbeing
โ–ช๏ธFinancial Health

Organizations and institutions interested in supporting survivorship-centered cancer care, patient advocacy, policy dialogue and sustainable impact at KICC 2026 are invited to partner with KESHO.

From patient records to registries, local data can help shape better cancer care.

Across Kenya and the region, valuable insights for improving cancer outcomes are already being generated through routine clinical care.

This May, as we observe , KESHO is hosting a CME focused on how to translate this data into meaningful research and practical impact.

Cancer care is built by teams.

This Labour Day, KESHO recognizes the broad workforce behind cancer care, clinicians, nurses, laboratory and imaging teams, pharmacists, data and research teams, psychosocial support providers, community health workers, administrators and support staff.

Your work, both visible and behind the scenes, continues to strengthen care and improve outcomes for patients across Kenya.

As we close April, we reflect on menโ€™s health and awareness.

Testicular cancer is often associated with younger men, but in many African settings, experiences also highlight later presentation and the realities of accessing timely care.

This weekโ€™s CME brings together clinicians to discuss how testicular cancer is approached in practice, from diagnosis to treatment and supportive care.
