Mbagathi County Referral Hospital has, over the last two years, undergone significant upgrades in service delivery, now attracting more than 1,000 patients daily.
The hospital has become the first county facility and the third public hospital in Nairobi after Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and Kenyatta University Teaching, Referral and Research Hospital (KUTRRH) to offer pre-term dialysis for children.
This makes it a beacon of hope for young patients battling kidney complications.
Led by Dr. Christine Manyasi, a consultant neonatologist, the facility has become a pillar for many families.
Confirming the development, CEO Dr. Alexander Irungu said many patients have already benefited.
“In cases where a child is born prematurely, we run the necessary tests to ensure their survival in our NICU. Where dialysis is needed, we are fully equipped to provide it, thanks to the dedication of our doctors,” said Dr. Irungu.
He described the pediatric dialysis unit as an “oasis” for families struggling with the high costs and limited access to treatment for children with kidney conditions.
