Treatment in Kenya

The healthcare system in Kenya has seen significant improvements in recent years, but challenges still remain. Access to quality healthcare is an important aspect of any society, and it is working to provide the best healthcare services to its citizens and visitors.


Public healthcare facilities are available throughout the country, ranging from public hospitals to medical centers and dispensaries. These facilities offer basic medical services and treatment and play a crucial role in providing health care to a large portion of the population, especially in rural areas.


Private healthcare is also available: private hospitals and clinics offer a higher level of care and a wider range of medical services. These facilities are often located in urban centers and offer more specialized treatment and access to modern medical technology.


Kenya is making efforts to address the issue of healthcare affordability. The government is implementing policies aimed at increasing healthcare coverage and reducing the financial burden on citizens. 


However, problems such as insufficient funding, uneven distribution of medical facilities, and a shortage of medical personnel still remain. In rural areas, access to quality medical care may be limited, and there is a need for continued investment and improvement of healthcare infrastructure.


Foreigners seeking medical care in Kenya often prefer private healthcare facilities due to the higher level of service and better facilities. It is recommended to have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses in case of emergencies.
