Nairobi City Tycoon Agnes Kagure’s heartfelt tribute to the late Njambi Koikai has touched the hearts of Kenyans across the nation. Njambi, a renowned media personality and reggae enthusiast, passed away this morning after a prolonged battle with endometriosis.
Njambi Koikai was more than a media figure; she was a hero who tirelessly advocated for the rights of those suffering from endometriosis. Her brave fight extended beyond her struggle, as she used her platform to raise awareness about this often misunderstood condition.
Endometriosis affects millions of women worldwide, causing chronic pain, infertility, and other debilitating symptoms. Njambi’s unwavering commitment pushed the Kenyan government to improve healthcare services for those affected by this condition.
Nevertheless, Njambi’s journey was marked by resilience and determination. She underwent treatment in the United States, traveling thousands of miles to seek specialized care for her Stage IV endometriosis, which included complications like catamenial pneumothorax and thoracic endometriosis.
Despite enduring over 12 lung collapses due to the disease, she remained steadfast in her mission to create awareness and advocate for better healthcare.
Hon. Agnes Kagure, a prominent Nairobi tycoon, expressed her condolences on Twitter: “I send prayers of comfort and grace to family, friends, and fans of Njambi Koikai, who has rested after a brave and long fight that she used to raise awareness on her condition. May she find rest in God’s embrace.”
Also, Njambi Koikai’s legacy will endure through the lives she touched and the awareness she raised.
Her advocacy transcended personal struggles, leaving an indelible mark on Kenya’s healthcare landscape. As the nation mourns her passing, we remember Njambi as a hero who fought for others, leaving behind a legacy of compassion, strength, and hope.
