Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH)
Nairobi · Kenya · Public hospital · Low-cost
Largest public referral hospital in East Africa. Low-cost specialty care across most disciplines; major center for cancer, cardiac and pediatric tertiary referral in the region.
National referral and teaching hospital. Kenyan citizens and NHIF members receive heavily subsidized care; international patients are billed at the public foreigner rate, which is still substantially lower than private hospitals in the region.
Walk-in registration at outpatient/casualty, or scheduled clinics by specialty. International patients should contact the foreign patients' office at admissions.
Capacity constraints in oncology and cardiac surgery — long waitlists for elective specialty care. Confirm appointment before traveling.
