Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has made a bold promise to bring a revolutionary Israeli technology to Kenya, which he claims can cure cancer in a day.
According to Sonko, the technology, developed by Icecure Medical, uses a device that freezes cancer cells within hours, effectively treating and curing cancer within a day.
"From the presentation sent to me, the technology treats and cures cancer within a day by freezing cancer cells using a special device," Sonko said in a social media post.
As part of his plan to pilot the technology, Sonko has pledged to sponsor 10 Nairobi residents battling cancer to Israel for testing. If proven effective, he plans to bring the technology to Kenya.
"To pilot the technology, I am willing to sponsor 10 cancer patients from 10 sub-counties in Nairobi to Israel as a case study," Sonko added.
