The human papilloma virus (HPV) is more common in men. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), “Infection in the mouth of the human papilloma virus (HPV) known to cause cervical cancer in women is higher in men than in women. This oral infection, which is transmitted sexually in men increases the risk of developing cancer of the mouth and throat." This research was conducted with about 5,500 individuals, between 14 and 69, where it was discovered that 10% of men had oral HPV, compared with 3.6% of women. This virus can also cause in men a**l, pe**le, head, neck, mouth and throat cancer. According to experts, “the results provide clear evidence that oral HPV infection is mainly transmitted during the sexual encounter.”

GOOD NEWS AS COST OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANT SLASHED

Kidney patients will pay less for transplants in Kenya following a deal between a local hospital and experts from the Netherlands to perform operations.

Patients will be charged Sh400,000 for a transplant at Eldoret’s Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital instead of the more than Sh3 million they would pay outside the country.

The hospital’s chief executive, Dr John Kibosia, and doctors from Amsterdam’s VU University announced the partnership yesterday following a sixth, successful transplant at the hospital.

The successful surgery was achieved last month after eight years’ collaboration between the two institutions.

VU University’s Prof Willem Wisselink and Prof Piet ter Wee and MTRH’s Dr Zachary Kisepui and Dr Edward Mugalo performed the surgeries.

“A transplant at such a low cost will be a relief to kidney patients who pay Sh21,000 weekly for dialysis,” said Dr Kibosia. He urged patients to register for medical schemes.

“The NHIF scheme will pay Sh250,000 and patients will pay the remaining Sh150,000, which makes local kidney transplants affordable,” he said, adding that patients will pay between Sh12,000 and Sh20,000 monthly for drugs before they fully recover.

Dr Kibosia revealed that more than 180 kidney patients required transplants and the operations would be done monthly in the next two years. “Most of our doctors and nurses will undergo training in South Africa and other countries,” he said.

Prof Wisselink said his institution would continue to train local surgeons and doctors to perform the transplants in Kenya.

“Transplants have proved to be more effective than dialysis and we shall continue to train local doctors and nurses to perform the operations,” he said.

Ms Irine Chelagat, who is among the lucky patients who have successfully undergone a transplant at the hospital, urged Kenyans with kidney ailments to seek treatment early.

The hospital’s deputy director for Clinical Services, Dr Wilson Aruasa, said the kidney department recently received 10 dialysis machines from the national government.

The hospital has also received donations of drugs for cancer and mental illness from American pharmaceutical companies.
