The Nyakach Huduma Mashinani Medical Camp Concludes Successfully

Residents of Nyakach/Urudi and neighbouring communities continued to access a wide range of essential medical and government services on Day Two of the Huduma Mashinani Integrated Medical Camp, as the outreach programme came to a successful close today. The second day recorded sustained turnout, with community members seeking medical consultations, treatment, health screenings, and follow-up services in a well-coordinated, people-centred setup.

The successful conclusion of the camp underscores the impact of bringing services closer to the people, easing the burden of travel while improving access to quality healthcare and government services. As the Ministry of Health continues to roll out people-centred outreach programmes across the country, initiatives such as Huduma Mashinani remains critical in expanding access to quality healthcare, and also proved to be an effective model for inclusive service delivery, leaving a lasting positive impression on residents who benefited from the two-day outreach.
