Mugie Clinic & Medical Outreaches

Healthcare Shouldn't Depend on Where You Live

Around the world, over half the population still lacks access to essential health services. On the Laikipia Plateau, where the nearest clinic can be hours away on foot, that gap is felt every day.

The Mugie Clinic was established in 2010, built first to look after Mugie's own employees and their families but it didn't stay that way for long. Word travels in a place like this and so did the need. Today, the clinic serves neighbouring communities just as much as it serves our own team, with a resident clinician providing everyday care to anyone who needs it.

In 2020, that reach grew further still. A dedicated outreach vehicle, made possible through The Moyo Foundation (a grassroots organisation working across health, education and conservation) meant the clinic no longer had to wait for people to reach it. Now, at least once a month, the Mugie Clinic comes to them instead. Our clinical team and volunteers, often joined by partner organisations, travel out to neighbouring areas, offering consultations and medication at no cost.

It's a small, steady act, repeated month after month: showing up, treating what needs treating and reminding people that where you live shouldn't decide whether you get better.

2,121 patient visits at Mugie's Clinic this year.
2,380 people reached through community health mentorship, talks and outreach days.

Part of something bigger

Global health has a name for this mission, the UN calls it Good Health and Well-Being, one of 17 Sustainable Development Goals the world has set for itself by 2030. Ours is a much smaller piece of this mission, but a piece all the same. One dispensary, one consultation, one day at a time.
