The 2022 Head and neck surgery camp, sponsored by Caris Foundation International, brought together American and Kenyan specialists. A total of 23 American otorhinolaryngologists, residents, anesthesiologists, nurses, speech-language pathologists, and pathologists participated in the surgical camp, which was overseen by Dr. James Netterville. The Kenyan team, on the other hand, included members of the University of Nairobi (UoN), Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), and an otolaryngologist from the Malindi sub-County hospital.

The two-week surgery camp carried out 54 major operations, 18 lipomas, and 4 keloids. Over 400 people with head and neck conditions underwent screening. Over 5000 people with head and neck growths have benefited from the camp since it began ten years ago.
