Over the last decade, Vital Solutions founder Ben Sterciuc traveled to Kenya and saw a desperate need for accessible healthcare. Ben left Kenya with a desire to return immediately and begin working to solve basic healthcare needs. Vital Solutions began as a dream to build a medical clinic in the hills of the Empopongi community for the Maasai tribe, yet grew into something much larger than Ben could have ever imagined.
Ben has used his business and medical background to connect with partners across the world in order to actualize this dream. Years later this dream has become a reality not only in multiple locations across Kenya, but across several other countries where the impact of Vital Solutions still includes but goes beyond medical care.
