Kenya marked the International Childhood Cancer Day on February 15, 2013 with hopes to raise awareness. The day was observed at a time when Kenya is grappling with an upsurge of child related cancers.
Kenyatta Hospital had a forum to give information on cancer, while the cancer association held an art auction at the village market to help support needy children with cancer. The theme of the event was “see cancer through a child’s eye”.
