Mr John Mwangi (not his real name) from Kiandutu in Thika , who is living with HIV, told he was aware that the medical camp was for eye problems but he had turned up anyway hoping to get a refill of his anti-retroviral drugs because he couldnt access them at the Thika Level Five Hospital as there were no doctors to hand them out.

Zetech University Deputy Vice-Chancellor Alice Njuguna said the huge turn out reflected a bigger problem with healthcare in the county. She stressed the importance of concerted efforts to address community health needs.

Today, we have attended to nearly 2,610 patients with eye conditions such as cataracts, colour blindness, dry eyes, and diabetic retinopathy, Prof Njuguna told Nation.
