Welcome to Part Two of the Daktari A Quick One (DAQO) Onsite Podcast featuring HCG CCK.

In this insightful episode, Dr. Nyadimu sits down with Mr. Bhupendra Bharti Kumar, the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of HCG CCK, for an engaging conversation about his professional journey, the growth of HCG, cancer care in Kenya, affordability, healthcare management, and the future of oncology across Africa.

Mental Health Matters | Inside Tranquil Medical Centre Karen | Psychotherapy, Counselling & Men's Mental Health | DAQO Onsite Podcast*

In this special **Daktari A Quick One (DAQO) Onsite Podcast**, Dr. Festus Nyadimu visits **Tranquil Medical Centre Karen**, one of Kenya's leading mental health and psychotherapy facilities, for an eye-opening conversation on mental wellness, counselling, and psychological healing.

Our journey begins with Dr. Hillary Tarus, a final-year Psychiatry Resident, who introduces Tranquil Medical Centre and explains why mental health is the software that runs the human brain. He explores the growing importance of psychotherapy, early intervention, and breaking the stigma surrounding mental illness.

We then sit down with Tranquil's experienced team of counselling psychologists and mental health professionals in the centre's calm, therapeutic environment. Together, we explore:

• Individual psychotherapy
• Family therapy
• Couples and relationship counselling
• Addiction recovery and rehabilitation
• Trauma-informed therapy
• Emotional wellness and resilience
• Anxiety, depression and stress management

The episode also showcases both branches of Tranquil Medical Centre in Karen, highlighting their world-class facilities and comprehensive mental healthcare services while raising much-needed public awareness about the importance of seeking professional psychological support.

Men's Mental Health Matters

One of the most important conversations in this episode focuses on men's mental health. Too often, men are expected to remain silent about emotional struggles, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, financial pressures, and burnout. This culture of silence contributes to delayed treatment and preventable tragedies.

Our experts discuss why seeking help is a sign of strength—not weakness—and how therapy provides a safe, confidential space for men to process life's challenges, build healthier relationships, improve emotional resilience, and live fuller, healthier lives.

If you're struggling, know that you don't have to face it alone. Help is available, and healing is possible.

Whether you're looking for psychotherapy, relationship counselling, addiction treatment, or simply want to understand mental health better, this episode offers practical insights from some of Kenya's leading mental health professionals.

In this powerful episode of Daktari A Quick One, Dr. Nyadimu hosts Dr. Eboso, a former contestant for the Secretary General position in the recently concluded KMPDU elections. Dr. Eboso shares his firsthand campaign experience, detailing his nationwide tours across multiple counties and candid interactions with doctors on the ground.
He highlights widespread dissatisfaction, burnout, and systemic challenges facing Kenyan doctors, while noting disparities in working conditions across counties. The conversation takes a sharp turn as Dr. Eboso raises serious allegations against the election process, questioning the credibility of the electoral commission and claiming the results were predetermined. He explains his decision to withdraw from the race, citing concerns over transparency and high nomination fees.
The discussion deepens into alleged financial mismanagement within the union, with claims that union funds are controlled by a select few officials, potentially used to influence elections and exploit vulnerable members. Dr. Eboso paints a concerning picture of governance and accountability within KMPDU.
In a bold closing, he calls on union members to take action by withholding union dues as a form of protest to demand reforms and accountability.
Is this the turning point for KMPDU? The “People’s SG” challenges doctors to decide the future of their union and their hard-earned contributions.
