ABOUT THE FIRST AID CLUB – UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI
The First Aid Club, University of Nairobi is a registered student association (UON/CA/AA/DOS/2/2),
established in November 2023. It is a vibrant, student-led platform that redefines healthcare training –
transforming it from theory-based learning into an elite, hands-on journey right from year one of
undergraduate medical training. Our members are equipped not only to excel in examinations, but to step into clinics, communities, and leadership spaces with confidence, compassion, innovation, and
adaptability.
We address existing gaps in healthcare education caused by limited infrastructure and scarce experiential
opportunities, which have led to:
• Delayed and insufficient practical exposure
• Minimal engagement with real-world healthcare challenges
• Limited mentorship and professional development
