The Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) held its second marathon in Butere Sub-County of Kakamega County on Sunday, advancing its mission to sponsor Social Health Authority (SHA) premiums and co-payments for low-income residents accessing healthcare at Hamptons Hospital.
Thousands of athletes and spectators gathered to support this vital cause, underscoring the community’s commitment to universal healthcare.
Corporate and NGO sponsors pledged a total of Sh45 million which will enable over 500 families to receive annual SHA sponsorships.
Organisers hailed the significant contribution a testament to the growing recognition of the MMTC Marathon as a platform for impactful social change.
Concurrently, a free medical camp at Hamptons Hospital provided treatment to patients and facilitated community registrations for SHA, further amplifying the event’s healthcare focus.
Hosted by MMTC’s Julius Mwale, the marathon brought together an illustrious audience, including foreign dignitaries, royal representatives, local and national business leaders, and political. Local MP Tindi Mwale was among those present.
