Dr Catherine Nyongesa Watta, 42, is the owner of the Texas Cancer Centre, Nairobi, which offers subsidised cancer treatment. She spoke to NJOKI CHEGE.
As a medicine student at the University of Nairobi 17 years ago, Dr Catherine Nyongesa had a rough time taking care of her sister — Cimmonne Nyongesa, who was suffering from uterine cancer. But that period shaped Dr Nyongesa’s life for good, as she swore to pursue a specialisation in cancer to help save the lives of many.
