Reflecting on our journey, it is imperative to acknowledge the immense sacrifices and dedication exhibited by everyone involved. From the meticulous preparations that began six months ago to the intensive training sessions for our medical personnel and volunteers, this has been a testament to collective effort, attention to detail, and unwavering dedication.

We took great care in selecting only the finest medical personnel and volunteers who are deeply committed to our mission of serving humanity, especially our most vulnerable communities. Our training sessions for Community Health Volunteers emphasized the critical importance of health, encapsulated in the belief that “health is wealth.” The rigorous vetting process for our doctors ensured we enlisted individuals motivated by compassion and a genuine desire to serve.

I extend my deepest gratitude to the Government of Kenya especially the Ministry of Health for their steadfast support throughout this initiative. This medical camp was more than just a healthcare endeavour; it was a beacon of social interaction, cultural exchange, and job creation. Our unprecedented month-long camp was a logistical feat, and I commend our security team for maintaining a safe and orderly environment for everyone involved.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our hygiene team for upholding impeccable cleanliness standards, our pharmacists for their diligence in dispensing medication, and our doctors for their exemplary teamwork and patient care. Our chefs, who ensured timely and nutritious meals, our ushers, who guided patients with grace, and the Citadel students, who exemplified a willingness to serve and learn, all deserve special recognition.

I must also express profound gratitude to Dr. Sarah, Head of Citadel University students and Medical camp director, whose passion for community service was instrumental to our success. Our appreciation extends to the medical suppliers for their timely deliveries and to Kenyatta Hospital and City Health Hospital for accommodating our referrals for further treatment.

UCESCO Africa’s investment in quality medication and employment of 95 dedicated professionals, including 18 doctors and 35 nurses, significantly impacted the lives of the vulnerable patients we served, offering specialist care and attention.

As we set our sights on next year’s medical camp, our goal is to serve 15,000 patients, which will not only enhance healthcare provision but also create more employment opportunities. This vision underscores our commitment to quality healthcare for those who need it most.

Tonight, as we celebrate the culmination of our efforts, let us also honor the rich tapestry of our cultural heritage. Culture is the cornerstone of our identity and a magnet for global interaction. It enriches our social fabric and enhances our appeal to visitors from around the world.

Thank you all for embracing our cultural dress code this evening. Your elegant and unique attire adds to the beauty of our celebration. I invite you all to enjoy your dinner and revel in the success we have achieved together.

Thank you.”
