Vincent Gakuhi, a teenage cancer survivor from Nairobi's Ruai area, has been placed at Kenyatta University (KU) to study Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, months after scoring an A plain in the 2025 KCSE while fighting cancer.

He shared his Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS) results on TikTok, captioning the moment with the words "long time coming" — a phrase that carries particular weight given the journey he had to endure just to sit his exams.

Gakuhi's path to university was anything but straightforward.
