Our History
Established in 2014, Unimedlink International is 501c charitable organization composed of a 100% volunteer group of doctors, nurses, and support staff. Our medical clinics began in Kenya in 2014. Our founder Gitiha (Sam) Kaniu RN gathered a small team of his coworkers who traveled to his home village and saw an overwhelming number of patients at the Kagaa dispensary. This provided valuable insights for future trips. Each subsequent year we return with more staff, more supplies and improved organization to create more impactful visits.
2015 saw political unrest in Kenya and organizations such as ours suddenly were not allowed to provide medical care for a one year moratorium. This did not deter us and we changed our focus that year to providing the local schools with water filtration, pencils, paper, globes, soccer balls, jump ropes and toothbrushes.
In 2018 we added clinics in Zanzibar, Tanzania and continued with both Kenya and Zanzibar the following year as well as adding another Kenyan clinic at Kagwee. Then the Covid 19 pandemic hit. During that restricted travel time we made a connection in Romania and had our first medical clinics there in 2021. We have been returning to East Africa and Eastern Romania on an annual basis and in 2024 and 2026 added trips to Estancia Philippines.
