Over 4,000 residents of Narok County have received free medical treatment during a two-day health outreach meant to close healthcare gaps in remote and underserved communities.
The initiative, dubbed Better Together Mara Medical Camp, was organised by Life Care International and held at Enkitoria Oloolaimutia Medical Centre in Narok West.
Doctors, surgeons, and medical volunteers from Kenya and abroad offered a wide range of services, including general consultations, dental and optical care, gynaecological services, tumour removals, cleft lip reconstruction, and treatment for chronic conditions such as hypertension and diabetes.
Dr. John Njenga, the clinical lead at the camp, said the overwhelming turnout highlighted the urgent need for accessible healthcare in rural Kenya. "People are coming in with tumours they've had for years, advanced dental infections, vision loss, and untreated diabetes.
