PCEA KIKUYU HOSPITAL
from Medical Electives
ABOUT:
Healthcare standards in Kenya are slightly more advanced than the equivalent hospitals in Nigeria, but the need for Mission staff and investment is still high. Mission Africa has established a partnership agreement with the Presbyterian Church of East Africa and we can offer placements in PCEA Kikuyu Hospital. Founded in 1908 by Scottish missionaries, PCEA Kikuyu Hospital has stood the test of time to become one of the most community friendly hospitals in the region.

The general hospital has four main wards: Male, Female, Paediatric, and Maternity. In-patient numbers are usually around 100. Services include: outpatients, maternal and child health, casualty (emergency room), a busy operating theatre, dental unit and an ART programme (dealing with HIV AIDS). The hospital also has an Eye Unit, which provides highly specialised ophthalmic care throughout East Africa. Also, on site is an orthopaedic rehabilitation unit with an active surgical programme. Students are invited to participate in morning prayers, outpatient clinics, casualty and to assist in the operating theatre.
FOR HOW LONG:
We can facilitate individuals or small groups of 4-6 people an for a minimum of 3 to 6 weeks.
ACCOMODATION:
Accommodation and meals can be provided at the hospital guesthouse on the grounds of the hospital. The accommodation is extremely safe as it is within the gated and guarded grounds. The room sizes vary, accomodating between 1-6 people, and there is a mixture of en-suite and shared bathroom facilities.
