Early detection saves lives. As the world marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) continues to strengthen preventive healthcare, medical professionalism and patient-centred care through initiatives aimed at improving cancer awareness, timely diagnosis and treatment outcomes.
Lanet Regional Hospital (LRH) marked the annual awareness campaign by conducting a Continuing Medical Education (CME) session focused on strengthening healthcare professionals’ knowledge and clinical capacity in breast cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment and patient support.
The session provided a platform for medical personnel to exchange professional knowledge, examine evolving clinical practices and explore effective approaches to breast cancer management, reinforcing the importance of continuous professional development in delivering quality healthcare.
Addressing participants, the hospital leadership, led by Chief Medical Officer Colonel (Dr) Muithya, emphasised that early detection, timely medical intervention and access to appropriate treatment remain critical in improving survival rates and quality of life for individuals affected by breast cancer.
The leadership encouraged healthcare professionals to intensify public awareness on breast cancer risk factors, warning signs and recommended screening practices, while promoting prompt medical assessment of suspicious breast changes.
Beyond clinical interventions, the session highlighted the importance of compassionate, patient-centred care, psychosocial support and sustained engagement with patients and their families throughout the cancer care journey.
Participants were challenged to translate the knowledge gained into improved clinical practice, strengthen preventive healthcare initiatives and remain responsive to advances in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The initiative underscores the KDF’s commitment to strengthening military healthcare services through professional capacity development, preventive medicine and accessible, quality healthcare.
Through sustained awareness, early detection and compassionate care, Lanet Regional Hospital continues to advance the fight against breast cancer, reaffirming that protecting lives begins with knowledge, timely action and collective responsibility.

As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms modern warfare and the global security landscape, ensuring its responsible military application has become a strategic imperative for safeguarding human agency, strengthening accountability and upholding international peace and security.
Kenya continues to advance this global agenda through multilateral engagement and strategic partnerships aimed at promoting the ethical, safe and responsible integration of emerging technologies into military operations.
The Permanent Mission of the Republic of Kenya to the United Nations in New York, on behalf of the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), hosted a high-level side event on the Responsible Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Military Domain (REAIM), in collaboration with the Republic of Korea and the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The engagement brought together international stakeholders to exchange perspectives on the opportunities, risks and governance challenges associated with military AI, while exploring approaches to ensuring that technological advancement remains anchored in human oversight, accountability and responsible decision-making.
Discussions underscored the growing significance of AI in shaping future military capabilities and the need for sustained international cooperation to address emerging ethical, operational and security challenges.
The event also served as a strategic precursor to the REAIM Summit 2027, scheduled for 14–15 April 2027 in Nairobi, where Kenya will host international stakeholders for further deliberations on responsible military AI governance and cooperation.
Through sustained diplomatic engagement, defence cooperation and multilateral dialogue, Kenya continues to champion a future in which artificial intelligence strengthens military effectiveness without compromising human responsibility, accountability or international peace and security.
The upcoming Nairobi Summit presents an opportunity to advance shared principles, strengthen international partnerships and shape responsible approaches to the military application of AI in an increasingly complex security environment.
