From Weeks to Days: Kenya’s ‘Wiki Moja’ Breakthrough Transforms Breast Cancer Care

Kenya is charting a new course in breast cancer treatment with the revolutionary Wiki Moja (One Week) radiotherapy model — cutting treatment time from the traditional three weeks to just five days, without compromising quality or effectiveness.

The innovation is led by Dr. Catherine N. Nyongesa, Kenya’s first female oncologist and founder of the Texas Cancer Center, together with a team of dedicated local specialists. Their pioneering work is redefining access to world-class cancer care for women across the country.

Through Wiki Moja, patients can now complete life-saving radiotherapy faster, spend less time away from work and family, and make fewer hospital visits — while still achieving optimal clinical outcomes.

Grounded in science and driven by compassion, Wiki Moja showcases how African-led medical innovation can set new global standards in oncology. By shortening waiting times and expanding access to advanced radiotherapy, Kenya is giving thousands of families renewed hope, dignity, and time.
