Russia has announced a major medical breakthrough after confirming that a cancer vaccine will soon be offered free to patients around the world, a move that could reshape global cancer care. The vaccine targets the molecular markers found on tumor cells and trains the immune system to recognize and destroy them before they spread. Early trials show strong results, with patients experiencing reduced tumor growth, fewer relapses, and stronger long-term immunity against multiple cancer types.
Scientists say the vaccine works by activating specialized immune cells that normally struggle to detect cancer. Once injected, the vaccine “flags” malignant cells and helps the body mount an aggressive, targeted attack — similar to how traditional vaccines fight viruses. Unlike chemotherapy or radiation, the approach is designed to work with the body rather than against it, offering treatment with fewer side effects and better long-term outcomes.
The announcement has sparked global optimism, especially in countries where cancer treatment remains costly and difficult to access. Russian officials say the goal is to make the vaccine widely available, ensuring that income or geography doesn’t determine who survives the disease. Health experts believe the move could reduce global cancer mortality if adopted on a large scale, especially in regions with limited medical infrastructure.
If the rollout succeeds, it could mark the beginning of a new chapter in oncology — one where cancer prevention and early immune-based treatment become standard worldwide. A future where cancer vaccines are routine, affordable, and accessible to all may be closer than anyone expected.

As Kenyans, let us join hands, not only to protect the children, but also to care for them and allow them to remain in school. Justice Byram Ongaya, Principal Judge ELRC - ELRASE 3rd Edition
IPS Kenya (https://t.co/cn6tG7ifmE) will be participating in the upcoming symposium! Be part of the discussion tomorrow to Wednesday. Join the meeting here: 👉 https://t.co/D0I63qRFD0
EMERGING ISSUES IN THE EMPLOYMENT AND LABOUR SPACES
Hon Justice Byram Ongaya, Principal Judge of the Employment and Labour Relations Court, today participated as a Panelist at the Africa Employers Summit held in Nairobi, under the theme: Empowering Business to Advance Social Justice.
The Principal Judge spoke on the topic: Innovations to Adapt to Workplace Changes in Africa. Specifically addressing the question: ‘How can the Employment and Labour courts in Africa develop their jurisprudence through adoption of innovative approaches to dispense justice and apply International Labour Standards (ILS) to support national labour markets to respond to contemporary workplace changes?’
Justice Ongaya’s presentation highlighted the following:
1.Employment and labour courts in Africa, should advocate and ensure that they have sufficient jurisdictional scope for the determination of the wide contemporary disputes in the world of work. The jurisdiction should cover formulation, interpretation, and implementation of terms and conditions of service and all aspects of undertaking human resource functions.
2.The Courts must embrace ILS in resolving disputes. The Judges must be trained in ILS together with stakeholders such as legal counsel, trade union officials, and human resource managers. The ILS can be relied upon as biding especially where the relevant convention has been ratified and domesticated or incorporated in national laws.
3.The employment and labour courts should readily apply the ILO basic principles and rights in the world of work. They include the right of association and collective bargaining; fairness and freedom from discrimination; elimination of all forms of child labour including the worst forms of child labour; elimination of forced work, slavery and servitude; and a clean work environment upholding occupational safety and health should be primary points of reference in resolving disputes by the Courts.
4.There cannot be lasting peace and prosperity without social dialogue as a foundation of social justice. The Courts in resolving disputes must balance justice ensuring equity which respects diversity of individual needs; access to basic resources, opportunities and services by all persons; enabling all to participate in social economic and political life in their communities; respecting diversity; and embracing human dignity and rights or freedoms.
5.The Courts should embrace a multi-door approach to justice through Alternative Dispute Resolution and Alternative Justice Systems. The Awards in ADR and AJS should be recognized by the Court for summary adoption and enforcement under the Court’s rules of procedure.
6.Kenya’s Employment and Labour Relations Court has enhanced access to justice through establishment of court stations and sub-registries across the country. It has also embraced technology and uses e-filing, virtual courts, case tracking system and e-judiciary mobile application.
https://t.co/ihLt7a8X1o foster ILS, the ELRC has embraced a constitutional approach to litigating disputes at work. There is emergence of focus on rights and freedoms going beyond “the contract of service” such as considerations of the right of equality and freedom from discrimination and the right to privacy. There is emergence of strategic or public interest litigation where litigants seek to pursue rights and obligations outside the existence of a contract of service between the litigants before court.
8.The Courts must be alert to the impact of technologies, AI and green jobs to the world of work. Working from home, Transboundary jobs, platform workers and gig economy are new emergent considerations that have shifted traditional employment relationships.
9.While the courts are independent they must embrace accountability through robust stakeholder engagement, Court Users Committees and open dialogue days. Further the courts should adopt regular assessment through performance management and measurement tools.
The conference was organized by BUSINESSAfrica Employers’ Confederation, the International Labour Organization and the Federation of Kenya Employers.
@Kenyajudiciary It's meaningful 2 see the highest levels of the judiciary come together to honor their colleagues. The presence of a diverse & senior bench, led by the Chief Justice herself, shows the profound respect the legal community had for them. It's a fitting tribute to their legacies!
Chief Justice & President of the Supreme Court of Kenya, Justice Martha Koome presides over a bench comprising of Court of Appeal Judge, Lady Justice Grace Ngenye, ELC Presiding Judge, Justice Oscar Angote, ELRC Principal Judge, Justice Byram Ongaya and High Court Judge, Justice Anthony Mrima, during the special closing of files proceedings at Milimani Law Courts in honour of the late Senior Counsel Simani Sangale, Kenneth Alison Fraser and Judy Thongori.
Scientists discovered you have a second heart in your calf.
It's called the soleus muscle—just 1% of your body weight—but if it fails, you're 4 times more likely to die.
The calf muscle pump, which is a system of muscles, veins, and valves in the calf and foot, pushes deoxygenated blood up towards the heart and lungs.
When it is weakened or inactive, it can lead to blood pooling in the legs and feet, potentially increasing the risk of various circulatory problems. Its dysfunction can be associated with increased mortality risk.
Happy August, everyone! I am entering this new month with a heart full of thanks to God for a fresh start. My prayer for this month is for peace, good health, & abundant blessings for myself & my loved ones. May we all find joy & purpose daily. #HelloAugust
Today, I celebrate another year of life, & my heart is overflowing with gratitude. Thank you, God, for being the center of it all—for every blessing, every lesson, & every step of this journey. I am ready for the next chapter & excited for the opportunities ahead!
ELRC Symposium to focus on elimination of child labour
The Employment of Labour Relations Court (ELRC) held a meeting which brought together stakeholder to plan the upcoming Employment and Labour Relations Annual Symposium and Exhibition (Elrase -3), 2025. The event to be held in September will focus on the international labour standards on prohibition and elimination of child labour including the worst forms of child labour.
During the symposium and exhibition, different sector players will hold conversations to share experiences, best practices and deliberate on manifestations of child labour and worst forms of child labour to come up with strategies and actions for the best interest of children.
“We seek to bring together stakeholders to discuss how to protect the children and remove them from exploitation for without social dialogue there can never be social justice. We will also talk about advancement in technology and how it is affecting the protection of children,” said Justice Byram Ongaya, Principal Judge of ERLC.
Some of the worst forms of child labour include child prostitution, trafficking and servitude, while modern day challenges may consist of online child solicitation and pornography.
ELRASE is a continuing initiative by the Court to bring the Court Users and the public together towards entrenching conversations about justice in the area of employment and labour relations.
