To realise universal healthcare in rural communities, access is the first step to achieving this goal. Access in rural communities means geographic access. But due to the expanse of rural communities’ physical access to health facilities is difficult and at times is an arduous and expensive journey to health facilities.
To mitigate this, Matibabu Hospital brings healthcare to the community in annual medical camps. In partnership with Tiba Foundation, Fred Ogola Foundation and volunteer doctors from the USA rural communities across Ugunja and Ukwala sub-counties of Siaya County in Western Kenya get access to world-class medical assessment and surgical referrals and surgery. More than 10,000 people have been reached in eight annual camps conducted.
We are always looking for health professionals eager to donate their expertise to support the community through medical camps.
This opportunity is located in Siaya County, Kenya.
