Farouk Kibet brings free medical camp to Shiandiche ahead of Chepsaita Cross Country
Residents of Malava and the wider Kakamega County will benefit from a free medical camp scheduled for December 2, 2026 at Shiandiche Primary School.
The camp, associated with President William Ruto’s aide Farouk Kibet, is being held under the banner of The Great Chepsaita Cross Country Run in partnership with the Ministry of Health.
It is part of efforts to combine sports, community wellness and preventive healthcare ahead of the Gold Level World Athletics event.
Organisers say all services will be offered free of charge to residents, with medical personnel expected to attend to hundreds of patients throughout the day.
Services on offer will include cancer screening, eye and dental checks, child welfare services, general consultations, NCD screenings for conditions such as diabetes and hypertension, women’s health services and mental health support.
Residents have been urged to turn up early with their identification documents to benefit from screening and referral services, especially for conditions that are often detected late due to cost and distance to health facilities.
The medical camp is expected to boost early detection and awareness, while also bringing health services closer to the people as the region prepares to host the prestigious Chepsaita Cross Country Run.
