I believe your best bet is The Aga Khan University Hospital, which is the best medical centre in Nairobi.

Good Luck! :-)

My Mother-in-Law recently had to have her gall bladder removed.聽 We admitted her to Nairobi Hospital.聽 Her consultant was based at the Doctors Plaza next to Nairobi Hospital - cant remember his name, unfortunately.聽 The standard of care and her treatment was exemplary, with absolutely no complications, following discharge.聽 Her treatment cost us about Kes 1 million, but she did need two admissions - she declined surgery, initially.

We did look at the Aga Khan Hospital, as it was much easier for us to get to.聽 However, the daily rates for a bed were significantly higher than The Nairobi Hospital and many of the same consultants work across both hospitals.

I would definitely recommend that you obtain rates first, if you don't have medical insurance.
