It is 16 years since Daniel Muriithi was discharged from the Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH). But his one-year stay at the facility on cancer treatment has bound him with what he calls, “my KNH family”.

Barely a child, Daniel was diagnosed with cancer. His sister, a nurse, had noticed an unusual growth on his neck, prompting a battery of medical tests he assumed would be brief to allow him report to his new school.
