About This Course
You can feel fine today... and still be sick. Many serious diseases grow quietly — no pain, no warning, no symptoms. That is why targeted health screening saves lives.
In 2022 alone, the world recorded 20 million new cancer cases and 9.7 million deaths. By 2050, that number is projected to exceed 35 million. But cancer is just one of the silent killers.
Dr. Joshua Nderitu walks you through the essential screenings every Kenyan should know about — what to test, when to test, and what the results mean. This course could literally save your life or the life of someone you love.
