Beyond the Scan: Dr. Harish Nagaraj’s Mission to Make Advanced Cancer Care a Reality for Africa

By Vyona Adhiambo Onyango -

F rom a humble background to the forefront of Nuclear Medicine and theragnostic in Kenya, Dr. Harish Nagaraj is helping build a future where advanced cancer diagnosis and targeted treatment are closer to the patients who need them most. There are some moments in medicine that cannot be measured by a laboratory result alone. A number can show that a disease is responding. An image can show that a tumor is shrinking. A scan can reveal what the human eye cannot see. But sometimes, the most powerful measure of medical impact is much simpler. It is seeing someone walk again. For Dr. Harish Nagaraj , one such moment came after a patient with advanced metastatic prostate cancer underwent Lutetium-177 PSMA therapy at Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital ( KUTRRH ). The patient arrived at the hospital in a wheelchair, carrying the physical burden of advanced cancer and, perhaps just as painfully, the uncertainty of what would come next. Then came treatment...

Sometimes they break in the silence between footsteps. In the way a child holds their breath. In the way a mother’s eyes dim even when she’s smiling. I grew up with this story long before I understood it. Long before I knew what addiction was. Long before I knew that love could be both a blessing and a wound. Children Who Grow Up in Unstable Homes There’s a kind of childhood that doesn’t look like childhood at all. You learn to read danger ...

By Vyona Adhiambo Onyango -

F rom navigating personal struggles with mental health to becoming an emerging voice in health journalism , Carson Anekeya is proving that stories are more than words on a page they are powerful tools that can challenge stigma, inspire hope, and create meaningful change. Some stories begin with success. Others begin with struggle. For Carson Anekeya , his story began with a question that many people silently ask themselves during difficult seasons of life: "How can I use what I already have to make a difference?" At the time, he did not have a large platform. He did not have years of experience behind him. He was not yet the health journalist, communications specialist, and mental health advocate many people know today. He was simply a university student trying to navigate life, understand his own experiences, and find meaning in the challenges surrounding him. But within those uncertain moments was the beginning of something much bigger. A journey that would tran...
