In a landmark recognition of its transformative impact, RFH Healthcare has been nominated for the African Health Brand of the Year by the Pan-African Youth Leadership Foundation (PYLF), a continental organization that recognizes youth-led initiatives advancing sustainable impact in Africa.
This prestigious award seeks to spotlight health institutions that are not only transforming healthcare access but also embodying the power of youthful leadership in shaping Africa’s future. RFH Healthcare stands among the top nominees for its trailblazing work in cancer care and its dynamic, youth-led vision for equitable healthcare delivery.
Commenting on this significant milestone,
Dr. Maxwel Okoth, RFH Healthcare’s Group Managing Director, stated: “To be recognized on a continental stage for work we’ve been deeply committed to is a humbling affirmation. This nomination isn’t just about RFH. It’s about what’s possible when we invest in African solutions for African challenges, and it acknowledges the passionate dedication of our youthful team to democratize advanced healthcare across our continent”
Why RFH?
The nomination comes as a direct result of RFH Healthcare’s remarkable contributions to oncology, healthcare access, and leadership in the region:
- Innovative Cancer Treatment: RFH was the first facility in East and Central Africa to offer Lutetium-177 therapy. This highly targeted nuclear medicine treatment for prostate and neuroendocrine cancers has significantly reduced the need for patients to travel abroad for advanced care.
- Technology-Driven Diagnosis: The group has invested in PET-CT and SPECT-CT imaging, establishing a vital regional hub for faster and more precise cancer detection. These technologies have helped reduce diagnostic wait times from weeks to just a few days, enabling earlier intervention and improving outcomes.
- Accessible, Affordable Care: With 11 facilities across Kenya, RFH serves over 200,000 patients annually and has impacted more than 2 million lives to date. Flexible payment plans and a core mission to serve all income levels have made quality care a reality for many who previously lacked access.
- Youthful, Visionary Leadership: Founded by Dr. Maxwel Okoth, RFH is powered by a new generation of healthcare professionals. This dynamic team combines entrepreneurship, community investment, and global partnerships to reimagine what is possible in African health systems.
A Legacy of Hope: Shaping Tomorrow’s Healthcare
RFH Healthcare is not merely a treatment provider; it’s a long-term partner in Africa’s fight against rising cancer rates, committed to prevention, education, and ceaseless innovation. With ongoing investments in cutting-edge technology, highly skilled personnel, and strategic partnerships, the group consistently breaks new ground, unwavering in its belief: every African deserves access to world-class healthcare without leaving the continent.
RFH’s story is far from finished and its impact continues to grow. As we celebrate this nomination, we invite our peers, partners, and patients to join us in amplifying a shared vision for accessible, world-class cancer care, right here in Africa.
This nomination affirms that mission. But more importantly, it’s a moment to rally behind what’s next.
