Bernice Mwangi attends to a child at the SBS organized medical camp at Huruma Police Post

Strathmore Business School's MBA class ran a medical clinic at Huruma Police Post in Nairobi's Eastlands. Over 700 patients were attended to by ten doctors, several pharmacists, a counselor, and other volunteers from the MBA class, the Aga Khan University Hospital and Shelter Forum.

Some MBA students who are doctors, pharmacists, and their spouses who are medics joined the Aga Khan personnel in the clinical work, and the non-medic students were involved in logistics and kids entertainment. Sadique, the famous magician, was on hand for the kids' entertainment.

The Police Post was a sanctuary for residents fleeing from the post-elections violence that rocked the area. "We came here expecting to attend to people camping at the police post but ended up receiving people from the entire community," observed Mr George Njenga, the Dean of SBS.

Patients suffering from all manner of ailments from simple coughs to infected wounds were treated at the camp. Some patients were in need of Anti-Retro Viral (ARVs) drugs and were directed where to get them. Most of the medicine was donated by pharmacies in Nairobi (Aga Khan, Laborex Kenya, Radbone-Clark, Alpha Pharma among others) who were approached by the MBA students.

The clinic also had a minor surgery for treating wounds. Several medical specialists were also on site. A woman who went to labour at the camp was rushed to the nearby Pumwani Maternity Hospital. "Even if this woman had been the only person we helped all day, the camp would still have been worth it," said Dr Twahir, 2nd year MBA student.

The  kids' fun corner had a trampoline, bouncing castle, face painting, a clown and the magician. The class is studying other ways and areas in which it can assist Kenyans suffering because of the current crisis. "There is a great need for this kind of initiative in the country right now," said Steven Kariuki of Shelter Forum.
