Rapha Hospitals & Clinics Leads Successful Free Medical Camp, Bringing Vital Healthcare Services to Kapsaret Community

 

 In a powerful display of community partnership and commitment to public health, residents of Kapsaret were treated to a day of free, comprehensive medical services during a large-scale outreach organized by Rapha Hospitals & Clinics, Eldoret. The event, held at ACK St. Catherine Tumaini Church, brought together a dedicated team of healthcare providers from Rapha Hospitals, Sisit Medical Services, and Siloam Eye Clinic, marking one of the most impactful medical camps held in the region this year.

The initiative aimed to address the growing need for accessible healthcare in rural and peri-urban areas, where many residents face challenges in seeking timely medical attention due to financial or logistical barriers. Throughout the day, hundreds of people walked through the camp, receiving much-needed health screenings, expert consultations, and wellness guidance.

A Full Spectrum of Care

Healthcare professionals offered a broad range of services tailored to meet core community health needs. These included:

• 🩺 General Health Check-ups: Residents received blood pressure checks, blood sugar testing, nutritional assessment, and general consultations aimed at early detection of chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, and anemia.

• 🦷 Dental Services: Dental practitioners carried out oral examinations, educated patients on oral hygiene, and provided referrals for those requiring further care. Many beneficiaries expressed relief at having access to dental check-ups that are often unaffordable in regular settings.

• 👁️ Eye Examinations: Specialists from Siloam Eye Clinic conducted vision testing and screenings for conditions such as cataracts and refractive errors. Several patients were identified for follow-up treatment, potentially preventing long-term vision loss.

Parents, children, and the elderly alike turned up in large numbers, some arriving hours before the official start time to secure an opportunity to consult with specialists.

Community Gratitude and Lasting Impact

Local residents praised the initiative, noting that such outreach programs often make a significant difference—especially for individuals who may delay seeking care due to cost, fear, or lack of access.

Rapha Hospitals & Clinics, Eldoret expressed deep gratitude for the turnout, emphasizing that the trust and stories shared by community members reaffirm the organization’s mission of delivering health care that is both compassionate and accessible.

“Your smiles, your trust, and your stories reminded us why we do what we do,” the Rapha Eldoret team said in a post-event message.
“We remain committed to walking with you on your wellness journey.”

Community leaders at ACK St. Catherine Tumaini Church also praised the event, highlighting the importance of partnerships between healthcare providers and faith-based organizations in strengthening grassroots health support.

A Call for Continuous Wellness

While the free medical camp was a major milestone, Rapha Hospitals & Clinics emphasized that community members should not wait for the next event to seek medical attention. Many conditions identified during such camps require ongoing monitoring and continuous care.

The facility encouraged residents to visit their Eldoret location for personalized, timely, and affordable healthcare services delivered in a patient-centered environment.

“Your health deserves consistent care—beyond today. Whether it’s a routine check-up or specialized consultation, we welcome you to walk in or call us to book an appointment,” the organization noted.

Looking Ahead

Following the success of the Kapsaret camp, organizers hinted at plans for more outreach events targeting underserved communities across Uasin Gishu County. The initiative reflects a growing movement among local healthcare providers to bring essential services closer to the people who need them the most.

As the sun set over Kapsaret, the camp wrapped up with renewed hope—for better health, stronger partnerships, and a brighter future for community wellness.
