More than 80 clinical officers from Kilifi have launched free medical camps that will cover all the seven subcounties. The officers are members of the Kenya Union of Clinical Officers and the Association of Clinical Officers. Kirimo said they will open a special clinic to deal with specialised cases that are detected in every medical camp to ensure those requiring further attention get help. He said the county has only 95 clinical officers against a demand of 309 — a shortfall of 214. The medical camp will also create awareness among locals, who often take long to seek medical attention only to be admitted for treatment when their situations are worse,” he said.
