On arrival, Rick Ross was received by Dr Catherine Nyongesa, the CEO of the private facility. Dr. Catherine Nyongesa is the co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Texas Cancer Centre (TCC), since the hospital was founded in 2010. She and one other co-founder started the facility as a nursing home where cancer patients could walk in for palliative services.
During the opening ceremony of the Texas Cancer Center Day Care in Nairobi, Rick Ross gave a speech and was quick to appreciate the efforts made to against fight cancer.
Hardly two months ago, Tanzanian King of pop Diamond Platnumz was in the facility.
