The Nairobi Hospital International Desk
The Nairobi Hospital is the leading tertiary private hospital in East and Central Africa. It is the destination of choice among international patients looking to receive treatment in this region. Up to 20% of our patients are foreign nationals.
TNH is located in the city of Nairobi and offers comprehensive general practice and specialist services complemented with advanced medical technology and great customer care. We cater for complex procedures e.g. neurovascular interventional procedures, targeted cancer treatments, specialized orthopaedic surgeries, kidney transplants, and minimal access surgery among others. We offer the latest in medical expertise and technology alongside warm and friendly services focused on our patients’ needs.
We provide team-based care especially to patients with multiple medical conditions. A team specialist diagnoses and treats patients efficiently, avoiding high costs incurred through repeat and unnecessary consultations and examinations.
