| Bomet residents get free medical camp |
Over 2000 people with various health issues received free medical attention at Tegat Sub County Hospital, Bomet East, on Saturday.
The free medical camp organised by the Bomet County Government saw the successful diagnosis of patients suffering from minor ailments as well as those of terminal diseases, including various forms of cancer, diabetes, and heart diseases, among others.
Bomet Health Executive Dr. Kipruto Sitonik said the doctors on call made referrals to various hospitals, including Longisa County Referral Hospital, where the patients would receive free medical attention.
He said the medics were also to make follow-ups on patients who may need management.
He revealed that there were many health issues among the people that remained undiagnosed, saying free medical camps would be held every three months so as to widen coverage as well as enhance health at the grassroots level.
Among the organisers were Nitibu Network, Equity Afya, Tenwek Mission Hospital, Africa Inland Church Litein, and the Red Cross, among others.
