Uasin Gishu Woman Representative Hon. Gladys Boss Shollei today engaged residents of Kesses Constituency at Murgor Primary School in a community dialogue ahead of a free medical camp set to take place tomorrow. The initiative is a joint effort between the Safaricom M-PESA Foundation and the Gladys Boss Shollei Foundation, aimed at improving access to quality healthcare for underserved communities.
Speaking during the engagement, Hon. Shollei emphasized the importance of proactive healthcare and ensuring that residents in both rural and urban areas have equal access to essential medical services.
“Healthcare is a basic human right. Through partnerships like this with the Safaricom M-PESA Foundation, we are bringing much-needed medical services directly to the people who need them most,” Shollei said.
The free medical camp, scheduled for June 8, will offer a wide range of services including general checkups, cancer screening, dental and eye care, maternal health consultations, and distribution of essential medication. Qualified doctors, nurses, and medical staff will be on-site to provide comprehensive care to residents — free of charge.
Shollei praised the community for turning up in large numbers for the pre-camp sensitization and urged locals to take full advantage of the services being offered.
“We expect hundreds to benefit from tomorrow’s medical camp. This is part of our broader mission to touch lives at the grassroots level — not just through policy, but through direct, impactful action.”
She also highlighted the ongoing work of the Gladys Boss Shollei Foundation, which continues to champion women’s empowerment, education, access to justice, and healthcare across Uasin Gishu County.
Community leaders present at the event commended the partnership and called for more such collaborations to address growing health needs, particularly in rural constituencies like Kesses.
“Our people often struggle to afford healthcare. What Hon. Shollei and her partners are doing is not only timely — it’s lifesaving,” said a local elder.
Shollei concluded by encouraging residents to spread the word and bring family members and neighbors to the camp, especially the elderly, women, and children who are often most vulnerable.“Together, we are building a healthier, stronger Uasin Gishu. Let’s turn up in numbers and take care of our health,” she urged.
The Kesses medical camp is one of several health outreach programs the Woman Representative has spearheaded this year, reinforcing her commitment to people-centered leadership.
