Mama Lucy Medical Superintendent Musa Mohamed said the cases can be stopped from escalating to dangerous levels if relevant treatment is administered in time.
“We found eight cases but we want to tell the victims that they can control their situation because it is not at advanced stage,” he said.
The screening exercise is ongoing at the two facilities, in collaboration with the Kenyatta National Hospital.
