    Cancer patients at Kenyatta National Hospital are raising alarm over persistent shortages of life-saving drugs, forcing many to buy expensive medication from private pharmacies. Despite being enrolled under the social health authority cover, patients say the high cost of cancer drugs is quickly depleting their medical cover, leaving them unable to complete treatment. Some have already been forced to stop medication after exhausting their cover, while others fear they may not make it through chemotherapy.
