"It is also used to do screening of chronic diseases together with partners including doctors and people in the cancer support and exercises like Yoga among others," she said.
Sugut supported Mwangi's call for comprehensive NHIF coverage, saying many women are not financially stable thus getting it hard to pay NHIF every month.
Jane Francis Angalia, founder of Cancer Information Support Network (CISNET) said cancer is not a death sentence.
The eight-year survivor who was initially diagnosed with breast cancer triple negative and now has ovarian and endometrium cancer is still undergoing treatment.
She challenged women and men to always go for frequent screening for various cancers.
Angalia also asked Kenyans to support cancer patients by adopting them and helping them pay their monthly NIHF bills.
"You can for example pay like two years upfront with Sh12,000 since some cannot afford to and miss some months thus denying them some treatments," she said.
Angalia also called upon the government to buy more machines that treat cancer, which will reduce the many treatment booking delays.
"This will also increase machines and oncologists since there are now many incidences of diagnosis,'' said Ms Angalia.
Her sentiments were echoed by Paul Njoroge Mwangi, a diabetic patient who appealed to men to go for frequent check-ups.
Mr Mwangi lost his wife last year in January due to pancreatic cancer and is a survivor of prostate cancer.
''A lot of men are not sexually active and suffering quietly when they can go for check up to see if its cholesterol issue or cancer and be treated,'' he said.
