Looking after a seriously ill child, providing love and comfort

Recently, I visited children’s cancer ward 1E at Kenyatta National Hospital. This ward bears a different aura compared to the other wards that mostly admit indisposed adults. Its walls bear cool colours and the cartoon characters rest on these walls, almost ready to play with the children. The curtains are brightly coloured with a hue of yellow; all paint a warm atmosphere for these little ones with hard-to-treat illnesses.
