MrBeast builds 5 medical clinics using shipping containers across US, Nigeria, Ukraine and Kenya

MrBeast builds five medical clinics across the United States and abroad to expand healthcare access in underserved communities. The YouTube star showcased the initiative in an April 2026 video posted on Beast Philanthropy, with each facility designed using shipping containers to address specific healthcare challenges.

The clinics are located in the US, Nigeria, Ukraine and Kenya. Each facility aims to provide medical assistance in areas where healthcare infrastructure is limited, emergency services are difficult to access or specialized treatment remains out of reach for families. The initiative was undertaken with MrBeast's team and nonprofit organization BUILD.

One clinic was established in Chester, Texas, where residents faced difficulties accessing emergency medical assistance. Two medical emergencies occurred at a local school during the year, with ambulances taking almost an hour to arrive. The facility includes a telehealth center where residents can consult doctors and seek guidance about health concerns.

Another clinic was sent to a hospital in Nigeria to help children access screening for open-heart surgery. The procedure could cost between $50,000 and $117,000 in the United States. The clinic could serve an additional 2,000 people in the community over the course of a year, expanding the hospital's ability to identify patients who need specialized care.

A third clinic was deployed to communities near the front lines of the war in Ukraine, where the conflict has damaged hospitals and disrupted access to essential healthcare services. The initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Daar Foundation. BUILD has four other active clinics across the war zone.
