More and more women develop breast cancer
So-called diseases of civilization such as cancer are on the rise in Kenya. As a result, the medical staff at Rhine Valley Hospital created a breast cancer case study for a client. The patient is 52 years old, works as a farmer and lives in a camp for displaced people in Nakuru district.
Circumcision against AIDS
According to the WHO, male circumcision is considered AIDS prevention. Rhine Valley Hospital regularly performs surgeries to remove the foreskin. On the one hand, this reduces the risk of HIV infection in patients. On the other hand, medical personnel use the treatment to educate the population on how to avoid transmission of the virus. This is shown by the example of Kilonzo and Kevin.
