Residents of Othaya Constituency in Nyeri County are set to benefit from a free medical camp this Saturday as the Antony Gitonga Foundation partners with Blue Star Hospital to expand access to healthcare services in the area.
The one-day medical outreach programme will be held at the Othaya Approved grounds is expected to attract hundreds of residents seeking specialized and general medical services.
According to the organizers, patients will receive free consultations and treatment in various fields, including urology, oncology, pediatrics, gynecology, neurosurgery and general physician services. Free medication will also be provided during the exercise.
The event will additionally feature a children’s play area to accommodate families attending the camp.
The initiative is being spearheaded by businessman and philanthropist Antony Gitonga (Antogito), who is also positioning himself as a contender for the Othaya parliamentary seat under the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Gitonga has in recent years increased his visibility in Othaya through community empowerment programmes focused on health, environmental conservation and youth support initiatives.
Through his foundation, he has previously participated in tree planting campaigns, community clean-up exercises and support programmes targeting vulnerable families and schools within Nyeri County.
His growing community engagements have increasingly shaped local political conversations in Othaya, a constituency historically associated with influential national political figures.
Organizers of the medical camp say the initiative seeks to bridge healthcare access gaps affecting many residents, particularly those unable to afford specialized treatment and consultations.
The programme comes at a time when demand for affordable healthcare services continues to rise amid increasing pressure on public health facilities across the country.
Health experts have consistently emphasized the importance of medical outreach programmes in early disease detection, awareness creation and improving access to preventive healthcare services at the grassroots.
Residents attending the camp are expected to receive medical screening, professional consultations and referrals where necessary.
The Antony Gitonga Foundation said the partnership with Blue Star Hospital reflects a broader commitment to improving community welfare and supporting preventive healthcare efforts in Othaya and surrounding areas.
