The video-game sense is a metaphorical extension of 'medical kit' (an item that restores health), which is straightforward to infer from the components.

Etymology

Medkit comes from the parts med ('medical') and kit ('a set of tools'), just like a real-world first-aid kit. So in a video game a medkit is an item that heals your character and restores 'health'.
