Cancer Now Beats Heart Disease as Kenya’s Second Biggest Cause of Death
The news is out — and it’s alarming. New data from the National Cancer Institute of Kenya (NCIK) shows that cancer has overtaken heart disease to become Kenya’s second-leading cause of death, surpassed only by infectious diseases. Every year, cancer claims over 29,000 Kenyan lives — and behind these numbers lies a hidden truth: toxic chemicals in our food, radiation from mining, and other invisible killers we’ve normalized in our everyday lives.
A Silent Crisis in Our Food System
Dr. Elias Melly, CEO of NCIK, did not mince words. He called out the dangerous agricultural practices and the continued use of banned carcinogenic substances that are quietly fueling this crisis. Many of these chemicals are outlawed in other countries — but here at home, they make their way into our food chain, unchecked and undisturbed.
“It’s a public health crisis,” Dr. Melly warned — and it truly is.
