Nakuru CRTH Annual ENT Camp

Description

The Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital (CRTH) Annual ENT Surgical Camp is a flagship outreach and capacity-building initiative aimed at improving access to specialized Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) services within Nakuru County and the greater Rift Valley region. Held annually, the camp brings together a multidisciplinary team of ENT specialists, anesthesiologists, nurses, and allied health professionals to deliver high-quality surgical and outpatient care to patients with ENT conditions—many of whom face prolonged waiting periods due to resource and personnel constraints. The camp also serves as a clinical training platform, providing opportunities for local medical officers, surgical trainees, and nurses to gain hands-on experience under the mentorship of senior ENT consultants. It fosters a culture of collaboration, continuous learning, and equitable service delivery. In addition to addressing the surgical backlog, the camp promotes early detection, health education, and community awareness on ENT-related conditions. It is supported through strategic partnerships between the county health department, professional associations, academic institutions, and private-sector partners committed to strengthening specialist care at the county level.
