Accident and Emergency Centre
Ambulance at Hospital EntranceThe Nairobi Hospital has a 24-hour Accident and Emergency (A&E) Centre which is conveniently located at the Hospitals main entrance. The Centre has increased its capacity over the years and is now able to serve over 500 patients every day.
There is an adequate complement of medical staff made up of doctors, nurses, Radiographers, pharmacists and various supportive staff. A fully fledged Pediatric Department specifically designed for children and handles all pediatric cases.

The Centre is equipped with a resuscitation room, X-ray, laboratory, theatre and pharmacy to manage disasters and emergencies. This makes it a one stop total quality medical emergency center.

The staff members of the A&E recognize the need to treat patients with utmost respect and professionalism. They go out of their way to ensure that patients are attended to in a timely and effective way before discharge or transfer to inpatient wards.
