Citizen TV presenter Willis Raburu is the new Health and Wellness Ambassador for the medical tourism company, Viva Serenity.
Viva unveiled Raburu as its brand ambassador on Monday, January 16 in a colorful lowkey event at their offices in Nairobi.
The company said it settled on Raburu because he believes in health and wellness.
Raburu on his part said his new role aligns with his commitment to the youth agenda and his ultimate desire to grow and positively impact youth in different capacities.
“I have joined the Viva Serenity family to carry conversations around health and wellness. My personal journey over the years has enabled me to glean from different perspectives and learn from key stakeholders,” Raburu said in a statement.
As Health and Wellness Ambassador, Raburu, with the help of experts from Viva Serenity, will be tasked with highlighting current challenges and solutions centering on healthy lifestyle, nutrition, and weight management.
“Many people are struggling with obesity and obesity-related health problems.

Viva describes itself as an internationally trusted medical tourism company that connects patients with the right treatment centers, hospitals, and medical specialists both locally and abroad.
