"Transnet-Phelophepa is a healthcare clinic on wheels that travels into
areas of rural South Africa, where there is just one doctor for every 5,000
patients, to provide health care. Literally translated, ‘Phelophepa’ means
‘good, clean health’ and this encapsulates the essence of what the train
aims to achieve. Roche is the main external sponsor of Phelophepa,
having provided support since its first journey in 1994.
has benefitted over 5.4 million people
through general health screening,
HIV/AIDS awareness initiatives,
health education and counselling
outreach services"

As you say, the typo 'been fitted' > 'benefitted' is obvious when you think about it, probably an initial minor typo compounded by a spell-checker!

In other words, it has actually treated 600,000 people, and brought indirect benefits to many more people through those various channels mentioned.

Ignore my FR suggestions, which wouldn't be right here; but I'll leave this up just for the comments.

La "phrase" avant, qui est dans une série de propositions sans majuscule devant, est:sees an average of over 45,000 patients a year, treating over 600,000 patients since 1994
I am more than ever convinced that the error here is in fact the choice of the word 'fitted', I'm wondering about a dictation error for 'visited' (but that would still also mean another word lik 'by' was missing) — as you say, it seems unlikely that so many people would actually have passed through this train, so it is probably indeed that it has been potentially available to that many people. Again, the verb 'fitted' is puzzling...
It is likely that '[something] has been fitted to 5.4 million people' — otherwise, I can't imagine how the passive voice 'has been fitted' could possibly be followed by a direct object 'people'.
But we really do need to know what comes before, as again, it is difficult to imagine what sort of physical 'something' could be fitted to all these people through 'awareness initiatives' or 'outreach services'?? I suspect perhaps the error is in the word 'fitted' itself.
