EQPAL Medical at the 3rd Annual NCHI Charity Run
EQPAL Medical was proud to participate as a partner and sponsor of the 3rd Annual NCHI Charity Run, held on Sunday, 23rd August 2026 at The Hub Karen under the theme “Restoring Hope and Making Strides Against Cancer.”
Organised by the Needy Cancer Health Initiative in partnership with Decathlon and The Hub Karen, the event brought together runners, walkers, cyclists, and families for a day built around a direct and measurable cause: every KSh 3,000 registration covers one cancer patient’s SHA premium for six months.
A full team turnout
Our team was represented across the event. Colleagues took on the 10km, 20km, and 30km routes, and EQPAL Medical hosted a branded station on the grounds throughout the morning — engaging with runners, fellow sponsors, and members of the public.
The event also offered free cancer screening on site, alongside a full programme of walking, cycling, and family activities.
Building partnerships for cancer care
Beyond the course, the day provided valuable opportunities for engagement with other organisations working in oncology care.
Among these, our team met with management from The Nairobi West Hospital to explore collaboration in supporting cancer patients — connecting EQPAL Medical’s oncology medicine sourcing and supply capability with the clinical services the hospital delivers.
Cancer care in Kenya depends on a chain of provision: timely diagnosis, access to oncology medicines, functioning treatment equipment, skilled clinical care, and the financial cover that allows a patient to access all of it. No single organisation holds every link. Events like this one create the space for the organisations that hold different parts of that chain to find each other.
Our thanks
We congratulate the Needy Cancer Health Initiative on a well-organised third edition, and thank Decathlon, The Hub Karen, and every fellow sponsor, runner, volunteer, and participant who contributed to the day.
Supporting improved access to oncology care is central to EQPAL Medical’s work. We look forward to returning next year.
