As part of the Afya Bora Walk which was flagged off from Mombasa on 22nd June 2009, we organized a medical camp at Emali to extend ‘Afya Bora’ to the people living in the town and its environs.

Emali is a small town situated about 120 km from Nairobi along the Mombasa Highway. It has a population of over 21,000 people and has no government hospital yet. The health needs of the people are attended to at Sultan Hamud or Makindu. According the the MP of the area, there are only 8 clinical officers and one Doctor serving two districts that have a total of 240,000 people.

The main diseases diagnosed were Malaria, URTI, Worms/Helminthiasis, Skin Diseases, Diarrhoea Diseases (Amoebiasis/Giardiasis/Salmonellosis), Eye Infections, S.T.I, Malnutrition, Fungal Infections (Tinea Capits/ Cruris). We to attended to over 2,000 people and extended our services to dental and optical.

The Kenya Dental Association Caravan was available to offer services to all especially the children. The Kikuyu Hospital Eye Unit lead a team of eye specialists to deal with the eye problems.

In total we had 50 doctors, 50 nurses, 20 pharmacists, and a support staff of about 40 people.

The MP of the area, Hon Peter Kiilu has gave us great support. He will opened the camp officially and re-flagged off the walkers for their second and final section.

We also received support from Crown HealthCare Ltd and many other different pharmaceutical companies that we had approached.
