What are medical services in Nairobi like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Nairobi, they replied...
"Medical services in Nairobi, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities, offering varying levels of care and expertise. The city is home to some of the country's best hospitals and medical centers, providing a range of services from primary care to specialized treatments. However, the public healthcare system often faces challenges such as inadequate funding, overcrowding, and limited resources, which can lead to long waiting times and reduced quality of care. On the other hand, private hospitals and clinics in Nairobi offer higher quality services, modern equipment, and well-trained medical professionals, but at a higher cost. Medical tourists and expatriates often prefer these private facilities for their healthcare needs. Overall, while Nairobi has made significant progress in improving its medical services, there remains a disparity between public and private healthcare options," commented one expat who made the move to Nairobi, Kenya.
