Kenya Formalises EUR 900M Cancer Screening Partnership Across All 47 Counties

NAIROBI, Kenya - Dec. 15, 2025 - PRLog -- The Council of Governors, The Ndege Group / Africa's Sovereign Development Trust® (ASDT), and Steplabs Technical Services Limited formalised Project Kinga Kansa on 15th December 2025: EUR 900 million in grant-backed diagnostic infrastructure deploying across Kenya's 47 counties to address cancer mortality through early detection.

Chief Executive Officer Mary Mwiti, MBS, ASDT Founder & Chairman David Okiki Amayo Jr., and Steplabs Director Vanessa Mutinda executed the tripartite Memorandum of Understanding at Council headquarters, establishing institutional responsibilities for Kenya's most comprehensive county-level health infrastructure initiative.

Under Kenya's Constitution (2010), healthcare delivery operates as devolved County Government mandate. The Council of Governors coordinates inter-county health initiatives under the Intergovernmental Relations Act 2012, positioning constitutional authority to implement infrastructure at this scale.

Cancer mortality in Kenya stems significantly from late-stage diagnosis concentrated in urban referral centres. Project Kinga Kansa deploys five diagnostic technologies directly to county health facilities: auto-scan blood testing machines enabling haematological analysis, i-Breast examination equipment providing non-invasive screening, Truenat molecular diagnostic systems detecting tuberculosis, COVID-19, and cancer markers, portable X-ray machines reaching remote populations, chemistry and haematology equipment with continuous reagent supply. Early detection improves five-year survival rates from 20% to 80% for most cancers. Geography ceases determining outcomes.

The EUR 900 million encompasses equipment procurement, installation infrastructure, comprehensive training for county health personnel, maintenance protocols, five-year operational support ensuring sustainability beyond initial deployment.

Institutional responsibilities operate through clear division: Council of Governors provides constitutional coordination and county-level implementation oversight, ASDT syndicates grant capital whilst managing multilateral relationships through transparent blockchain infrastructure, Steplabs executes technical deployment and operational sustainability protocols.

David Okiki Amayo Jr., Founder & Chairman of The Ndege Group / ASDT, stated: "Project Kinga Kansa demonstrates what institutional architecture enables. Constitutional governance provides framework. Technical capacity delivers implementation. Grant-backed finance operates at scale. Kenya's 47 counties receive simultaneous deployment. Early cancer detection becomes geographically equitable, not urban-concentrated. ASDT structured documentation respecting constitutional mandate whilst attracting serious institutional capital. Implementation begins now." Deployment proceeds across 60 months.

ASDT syndicates exclusively through grant mechanisms managed via OmniGaza®, its registered blockchain platform ensuring transparent fund deployment with immutable audit trails. Project Kinga Kansa operates entirely through grant capital, distinguishing it from ASDT's broader portfolio employing concessional loans and blended finance for infrastructure projects. Grant sources include ASDT internal funds, multilateral development institutions, bilateral donors, and institutional philanthropic partners aligned with health equity objectives.

County-level rollout commences Q1 2026. Equipment reaches populations. Lives extend through early detection.
