The Kakamega Orthopaedic Hospital has a story. It is definitely one of hope, relentlessness and optimism when a team with a common dream come together. As fate would have it, the founder of the hospital, the late Dr. Alushula who was a reknowned orthopaedician in Kenya passed on just when the new facility was complete and ready for opening during the pandemic! The hospital had previously been operating for decades at its facility opposite Sheywe GuestHouse at Kefinco off the Holden Mall.
But luckily for this new promising company, the teams would quicky converge their efforts to make it work beyond everyone’s expectations. Perhaps in honour of its great founder who had benevolently built the brand and reputation. And now fast forward, we are celebrating the hospital turning one year old while offering all health services you may think of while creating hundreds of jobs!
I bet your question then would be: Why Kakamega Orthopaedic Hospital?
Here are the reasons:
1. Homely Environment
The truth is, when it comes to a health facility , all you care about is homeliness and the ability of its environment to make you feel relaxed. We all know an element of greenery goes a long way. And this is what Kakamega Orthopedic Hospital understands more than anything else. The hospital is a very welcoming place that is well spaced, structured and designed hence giving you a peace of mind as you seek the top-level services in their offering. If there’s a group which appreciates this are kids and everytime you visit you will definitely see a bunch playing around. Isn’t this something to consider the next time you think of hospitals near you?
2. Proximity to the Kakamega – Webuye Highway
When it comes to health issues, we all agree that there’s nothing that beats proximity and accessibility of a hospital, especially where a highway is involved. Luckily for you, the hospital is found right on the highway. Besides the facility is only 5 minutes drive from Lubao Market, less than 20 minutes drive from the Kakamega CBD and under 10 minutes drive from Malava Town thus catering to a much larger community that had been underserved before its establishment. With its vast space comes lots of free and secured parking amenities for all visitors as well.
Furthermore, those using public transport like Matatus and Tuktuks or motorbikes can easily connect from town and alight right at the hospital’s gate. This is clearly the kind of convenience you deserve – so that you focus entirely on getting back to your feet and productivity. Right?
3. A Wide Range of Services
Well if we break the whole concept to the basics, a hospital is the place where we go for health related services. The Kakamega Orthopaedic Hospital’s core business is without doubt health provision and with it comes a wide range of services ranging from several types of surgeries, laboratory and pharmacy, Physiotherpay, X-ray and Ultrasound imaging.
It further provides an array of specialist services such as ENT (Ears, Nose & Throat) experts who ensure your wellbeing around hearing, swallowing, speech, breathing, sleep challenges and the allergies that arise from there. The other specialist categories include Obsetrics and Gynaecology focused on pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum concerns; Orthopaedics from which the hospital credits its brand name and finally Paediatrics for children related services.
4. Kakamega Orthopaedic Hospital Funeral Home
I’m imagining the last thing you want a review on is the morgue. Nevertheless here we are! This is how the ultramodern funeral home at the hospital looks like. The ambience and serenity it guarantees the loved ones of the deceased will contribute greatly in providing solace and peace to them as they mourn their loss. The facility can hold upto 50 bodies at a time and the two specialised gazebos gives a chance to the family’s an opportunity to rest as they come to terms with their sad realities. Two at a time.

A journey of creating more employment oppotunities, empowering the communities and people coming from and wide, revitalising the local economy and being one of the biggest healthcare investors in Western Kenya.
