Equity Afia, Kitengela branch, in collaboration with Acacia Shrine St. John and Sylvia, is delighted to announce a special event where they will be offering free services to the church community. This event aims to provide accessible healthcare to all individuals, regardless of their financial means. As a testament to their commitment, all services provided at this event will be completely free of charge. Moreover, in the spirit of extending their support to the community, after the mass, all Christians are cordially invited to visit their tents to receive additional medical attention at discounted prices. This initiative is a true reflection of Equity Afia’s dedication to promoting the well-being of the community they serve.
The event organized by Acacia Shrine St. John and Sylvia in collaboration with Equity Afia, Kitengela branch, is set to be a remarkable opportunity for the community to access various healthcare services. The primary focus of this event is to offer general doctors’ consultations, dental and optical check-ups, health education on lifestyle diseases, nutritional consultation, BMI check and body composition analysis, as well as blood pressure, pulse rate, and oxygen level check-ups. These services will be available to all attendees free of charge, ensuring that everyone has the chance to receive quality healthcare without any financial burden.
Equity Afia recognizes that financial constraints can often be a barrier to accessing healthcare services. Therefore, in an effort to address this issue, they have arranged for a post-mass opportunity where Christians can benefit from discounted prices on specific medical tests. Blood sugar level checks will be available at a nominal fee of Ksh 100, while ECG tests can be obtained for Ksh 1000 only. This gesture aims to make these essential medical tests more affordable and accessible to the community.

By offering a wide range of free healthcare services, they aim to bridge the gap in healthcare accessibility. Additionally, by extending discounted prices on blood sugar level checks and ECG tests to Christians after the mass, Equity Afia strives to make critical medical examinations more affordable.
This event serves as an opportunity for individuals to take charge of their health and gain valuable insights into their well-being.
