Patient lift as more hospitals adopt new prostate therapy

Patients seeking treatment for an enlarged prostate now have more options as hospitals in Kenya expand urological services, with more introducing minimally invasive procedures alongside established treatment.

The latest addition is Rezūm Water Vapour Therapy, a procedure for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate.

Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) became the first public health institution in Kenya to perform the procedure in January.
