A total of 513 residents from communities surrounding Bamburi Cement’s Vipingo Quarry have benefited from free medical services during a community health outreach held in Mferejini, Kilifi County.
The medical camp, organised by Bamburi Cement in partnership with the Kilifi County Department of Health and other healthcare providers, took place at St. Jeremy’s Angel Academy, offering essential healthcare services to both adults and children.
Residents accessed various services, including general medical consultations, cancer screening, eye care, HIV testing, tuberculosis (TB) screening, family planning and well-baby services.
The initiative, now in its third consecutive year, aims to improve access to essential healthcare while addressing the medical needs of communities living near the company’s operations.
Bamburi Cement said the outreach reflects its continued commitment to community wellbeing, promoting preventive healthcare and strengthening partnerships with healthcare institutions and local authorities.
The company also recognised the contributions of the Kilifi County Department of Health, Aga Khan Hospital, Dr. Agarwal’s Eye Hospital, healthcare professionals, volunteers and community leaders who supported the exercise.
Through the annual initiative, Bamburi Cement continues to strengthen its community engagement efforts while supporting healthier communities through accessible medical services and collaborative healthcare programmes.
