The Aga Khan University Hospital, Nairobi has launched a new Specialty and Executive Clinic in Gigiri, marking a significant expansion of its outpatient network aimed at improving access to specialised healthcare services.
The facility targets residents and professionals living and working in Gigiri, Nyari, Runda, Redhill Road and the broader Limuru Road corridor. The new clinic brings expert medical services closer to communities that previously relied on the hospital’s main campus or other distant facilities for advanced care.
The Gigiri clinic is part of the hospital’s growing network of 54 outpatient medical centres across Nairobi and its surrounding areas. It offers a broad range of specialised services, including cardiology, endocrinology, paediatrics, dermatology, neurology, haematology-oncology, nephrology and pulmonology.
Additional services include counselling psychology, obstetrics and gynaecology, family medicine, dental care, optical services and vaccination programmes. The hospital said the facility is designed to provide integrated, patient-centred care within a single, convenient location.
Expansion focused on access and quality
Patients can also access executive wellness services supported by diagnostic capabilities such as ultrasound and X-ray imaging. These offerings are intended to streamline care delivery by combining consultations, diagnostics and follow-up services under one roof.
Chief Executive Officer Rashid Khalani said the expansion reflects the institution’s broader strategy to decentralise healthcare while maintaining high standards of care.
“Increasing access to specialised quality care is central to our strategy, and we will continue to invest in facilities and services that make it easier for patients to receive the care they need close to where they live and work,” Khalani said during the launch.
He noted that consultants serving in outreach clinics are the same specialists based at the main hospital, ensuring consistency in treatment standards across all locations.
“Even as we expand our outreach network, we remain committed to ensuring that the same quality of care available at our main hospital is delivered across all our centres,” he added.
The opening ceremony was officiated by Zainab Bangura, Director-General of the United Nations Office at Nairobi, who commended the hospital for its continued investment in expanding access to quality healthcare.
Bangura said the new facility reflects a practical response to rising demand for accessible and specialised medical services in Nairobi.
“This achievement reflects clarity of purpose, sustained investment and strong commitment to delivering quality care,” she said.
The hospital also highlighted its broader strategy, which includes homecare services across Nairobi and nearby regions. These services cover home delivery of medications and home-based laboratory sample collection, further supporting convenience and continuity of care.
