Working hand-in-hand with our Kenyan hosts and KDF medics to reach remote communities has been a great honour. We&#8217;ve treated over 3,000 people, and for many of our medics, this has been a valuable first experience in Kenya.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exercise also included a Defence Engagement component at Kahawa Garrison in Nairobi, where 202 MMR clinicians provided specialised training on austere pre-hospital care, promoting an exchange of expertise with KDF personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lieutenant Brian Kiplimo, a KDF Nursing Officer, highlighted the three key objectives of the operation: \u201cWe aimed to deliver healthcare to marginalised communities, enhance our operational medical readiness, and strengthen cooperation with BATUK. We trained 45 KDF personnel in casualty care and exchanged critical medical knowledge that will benefit future joint missions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>British High Commissioner to Kenya, Neil Wigan, lauded the operation as a reflection of the strong bilateral ties between Kenya and the UK: \u201cThis outreach exemplifies the strength of the UK\u2013Kenya partnership. We\u2019ve delivered life-saving services, strengthened military collaboration, and reaffirmed our shared commitment to progress. Kenya is a strategic ally with whom we share not just a history\u2014but a future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The joint effort has been widely praised by local leaders and residents, many of whom expressed gratitude for the rare access to specialised care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAIKIPIA, Kenya July 22 \u2013 More than 3,000 residents in Laikipia and Samburu counties have benefited from free medical services offered through a partnership between the British Army, the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), the Samburu County Government, and the Beyond Zero initiative.
