Celebrating 75 Years of Quality Paediatric Healthcare

We, at Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital, are delighted that our hospital is celebrating 75 years. Opening its doors initially as a children’s home in 1944, the hospital has been evolving and expanding since 1947 to become a Level 5 Healthcare Facility, a Tertiary Referral and Teaching Children’s Hospital.

From hearts to hearing, from sleep to skin, bones to breathing difficulties and more, Gertrude’s sees more than 300,000 outpatients every year.

Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital is a not- for-profit Children’s Hospital, and the most recognized paediatric hospital in Eastern and Central Africa.

We have expert teams, equipment and facilities, available 24 hours a day. Children come to us from all over Kenya and beyond, utilising more than 20 aspects of paediatric specialisation, as well as a teens’ clinic providing comprehensive healthcare to teenagers and young adults.

Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital uses advanced technology and has state-of-the-art facilities acquired over the years, enabling the hospital to provide a full range of healthcare services including preventive care, accident and emergency, outpatient care, inpatient medical and surgical care, and rehabilitation services.

Gertrude’s has proved that it is at par with innovation and technological advancements. In 2021, the Gertrude’s Hospital Foundation and its partners launched a telemedicine program which helps reduce the number of referrals of sick children and optimizes the capacity and reach of healthcare delivery systems by allowing level IV and V hospitals have access to specialists.

At Gertrude’s, we invest heavily in quality and safety strategies that ensure constant improvement of all our services, in line with international standards.

Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital is there for you; there to offer your child the highest quality in healthcare services, but we’re not stopping there. As we celebrate our 75th anniversary, we have exciting plans to continue growing Gertrude’s over the next 75 years, so we can care for even more children and young people who need our specialist care...now and in the future.
