Outpatients

Building on the desire to provide continuity of are, patients at KH can now be seen by the same clinical officer (CO) or physician at each visit. Patients and physicians appreciate the rapport that develops and this will enhance care services in the Family Medicine residency program.

Because there is no scheduled private primary care during the busy morning hours in OPD, a "Fast Track" is available to expedite appointments. For an additional fee, patients can be seen with less waiting time.

Opened in early 2006, the Marira Clinic of AIC Kijabe Hospital is located 15 kilometers from the hospital. The clinic is located only 400 meters from the major paved road running through the Uplands area. This outpatient facility serves general OPD, MCH/FP and HIV/AIDS patients who do not need to travel to KH.

KH continues to experience continued growth in services relating to HIV/AIDS and BKKH programs, including mobile clinics.

Inpatients

General medical services are a large part of the hospital's work. The 5-bed ICU is staffed by three critical care trained nurses on each shift, thereby enabling very sick patients to have almost one-to-one care. Donated equipment allows for constant cardiorespiratory monitoring and patients can have assisted ventilation via respirators.

The nine-bed Private Ward offers patients the comfort of five single rooms or two shared rooms. Each bed has its own remote-controlled television and other anemities such as personalized catering services and modern bedding. One room has its own en suite bathroom, as well as a large couch so a relative or friend can sleep with the patient. One of the main reasons for the development of the private facilities at KH is to help offset the cost of treating poor patients, something KH will always be committed to doing.
