This study was carried out to help improve the management and organization of the medical camps in Kenya by the various key stakeholders thus enabling the medical camps achieve the overall goal of enabling access of quality affordable health care services to the disadvantaged and marginalized population in Kenya in acknowledgement that equity in the accessing and provision of health care services is an underlying principle intertwined in the human rights principles. Everyone irrespective of their social and economic status are entitled to a standard of health that is enjoyed by majority of the advantaged populations within a society and deliberate multi-disciplinary efforts need to be taken to ensure access of quality affordable health care services for all. Medical camps organized by public sector, private and Non-governmental organizations are initiatives aimed at achieving the goal of availing high standard of health to especially the vulnerable and disadvantaged populations in a community. This study sought to establish the role of medical camps in ensuring equity in accessing health care services in Kenya. The study targeted 500 patients who attended a medical camp, mounted by Embu County Government, one of the 47 county governments in Kenya, in Karaba, Mbeere South Sub-County on 1 st of November 2019.
