Lifecare’s Better Together Mara Medical Camp 2023
On December 4th and 5th 2023, Lifecare International hosted its annual Better Together Mara Medical Camp, an impactful healthcare initiative benefitting the communities in and around the Maasai Mara. Lifecare endeavoured to enhance the community’s health and wellbeing with free medical treatment, surgeries, and medication, conducted at Sekenani Medical Centre in Narok South and Oloolaimutia in Narok West.
The 2023 edition treated 3587 patients, bringing the total number of patients treated to over 12,000. Through the support from Sponsors and Medical Partners, the team conducted various procedures that covered GP consultations, paediatrics, gynaecology, diabetes & hypertension, ENT, ECGs, optical, dental, breast cancer screenings, and more. There were 173 total surgeries, including 52 tumour removals, 56 cataracts, 65 dental extractions, and 11 hospital referrals.
The Better Together Mara Medical Camp was graced by Narok County Governor, H.E. Patrick Ole Ntutu, who commended Lifecare’s continued efforts in collaborating with sponsors and medical partners to deliver the much-needed health and wellbeing to the communities.
“The Lifecare Mara Medical Camps have gone a long way in improving health outcomes here in Narok, complementing our efforts. This is a journey that Lifecare International started five years ago, and I commit to be in every camp that they organize. Lifecare International and all the sponsors, we say thank you.”
– H.E. Patrick Ole Ntutu, Narok County Governor.
Last year, it was realised that around 70% of ailments treated stemmed from waterborne diseases, which led to establishing clean water projects in order to address the root cause and achieve sustainable health outcomes.

Testimonials on the Mara Medical Camp
“As a community, we are thankful to the Lifecare team for the camp here in the Mara. For the past few years, they have done a lot for us. Many of the children and women here would not have got this healthcare. The best specialists we’ve seen here are doing all sorts of operations and treating all sorts of diseases. This camp has changed lives, and the community is very happy.”
H.E Patrick Ole Ntutu
“This week, the Bupa Global team had the incredible experience of supporting Lifecare s Better Together medical camp in the Maasai Mara. The project provides much-needed medical treatment to the communities in and around the area, where the sick and injured usually travel miles by foot to access basic healthcare. It was amazing to see everyone come together to make a real difference community.”
Dean Pollard
“Allianz Partners is delighted to have been part of the 2022 Mara Medical Camp, in association with Lifecare International. Volunteers from our team proudly participated in this inspiring initiative which makes a real difference to communities in the Maasai Mara region. With Covid-19 having prevented the Camp from convening for the last few years, this year s effort to provide medical care and other essential support is all the more significant.”
Paula Covey
“The core of our promise is to promote health and wellbeing across the communities we reach. We sincerely thank the sponsors, partners, medical doctors, volunteers, and donors for being part of this initiative and we strongly believe this will culminate into a long-term partnership in supporting healthcare access for communities in the Maasai Mara. Nothing is more important than our collective health and wellbeing.”
