The week-long camp, a collaboration between Maseno University, Alexandria University (Egypt) and the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH), aims to strengthen surgical skills among local doctors and improve access to specialized cancer care in the region.
The visiting delegation, led by Professor Mahmoud from Alexandria University and joined by Dr. Andrea Lisa from Milan, Italy, was warmly received by the Associate Dean of Clinical Services, Dr. Jacktone Omoto, noting that such collaborations underscore Maseno\u2019s growing leadership in medical training, research and service delivery.\u201cThe world of medicine thrives on collaboration,\u201d said Dr. Omoto. \u201cWhen knowledge travels across borders, patients everywhere benefit.\u201d
For Dr. Marwa, a lecturer and surgeon at Maseno University, the surgical camp carries a special personal meaning. Several years ago, he trained at Alexandria University under Professor Mahmoud, where he gained advanced skills in Breast and Sarcoma Surgery. His mentor\u2019s visit to Maseno, now accompanied by colleagues from Milan, was both a re-union and a professional milestone.\u201cWhen I first went to Egypt, I had the passion but not the skill,\u201d said Dr. Marwa. \u201cProfessor Mahmoud not only trained me but inspired me to bring this knowledge home. Seeing him here today, guiding our students, is incredibly fulfilling.\u201d

During the camp\u2019s opening lecture, Dr. Andrea Lisa delivered an engaging session on modern approaches to Breast Surgery, from diagnosis to reconstruction. Students listened intently, eager to absorb every detail. For many, it was their first exposure to the complexity and artistry of Surgical Oncology.
Prof. Mahmoud urged the students to take their training seriously and to view surgery as both a science and an art. \u201cSurgery is not just about technique,\u201d he told them. \u201cIt is about compassion, precision and the courage to act when life depends on your skill.\u201d
In Kenya, cancer remains one of the leading causes of illness and death, with breast cancer accounting for about 16% of all cancer cases nationwide. According to the Kenya National Cancer Control Program, over 6,000 new breast cancer cases are reported each year and many patients face delayed diagnosis or lack access to specialized treatment. With only a limited number of surgeons trained in breast and sarcoma procedures, initiatives like this camp play a critical role in closing that gap.\u201cWe are not just teaching surgical techniques,\u201d said Dr. Lisa. \u201cWe are building capacity and giving young doctors the tools to transform healthcare in their own communities.\u201d
