List of hospitals in Kenya
This is a list of hospitals in Kenya by former provinces and county. There are 57 public hospitals, including seven national referral hospitals, 47 county referral hospitals, and two sub-county hospitals. There are 103 private hospitals, 58 mission hospitals, and 12 NGO hospitals in Kenya. Hospitals are classified into three levels: Level 6 hospitals are national referral hospitals and large private teaching/mission (faith-based) hospitals; Level 5 hospitals are county referral hospitals and large private/mission (faith-based) hospitals; and Level 4 hospitals are sub-county hospitals and medium-sized private/mission (faith-based) hospitals[1] The oldest hospital in Kenya is the Mombasa Hospital, which was opened for Europeans in 1891. In 1898, the British opened the Native Civil Hospital in Makadara for non-European Patients. In 1944, the government decided to dedicate the Mombasa hospital to the African community and let European and Asian patients go elsewhere.[2]
