Casualty Accident & Emergency Centre

Accident and Emergency Centre
The 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.

Compliance to international standards of emergency and trauma life support together with continuous training has shaped the Hospital’s speedy response to incidents, accidents and disasters. The staff of the A & E Centre is made up of certified professionals in Advanced Cardiac Life Support, Advanced Trauma Life Support and Acute Psychological Counseling.

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. There is also a helicopter landing pad that provides quick access for patients evacuated and airlifted from various places across the country and region. Critical care is also provided in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the High Dependency Unit (HDU) as a continuum of emergency care.

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.

The A&E partners with several consultants in management of patients as the need may arise. In addition, there is collaboration with other medical centers from Africa who choose to refer their patients to the Nairobi Hospital for further specialized management.
