Christamarianne Mission Hospital Description

Christamarianne Mission Hospital is a private hospital that provides comprehensive medical and surgical services and facilities in aligning with the requirements of the Department of Health Service Support of Public Health Ministry.

The establishment of the Christamarianne Hospital was opened on 19th May 1983 by His Excellency the President Hon Daniel Arap Moi. The Hospital is managed by Franciscan Sisters of St.Joseph Asumbi which has moved location at least three times since the early days and the increasing expansion of the hospital has reduced the amount of accommodation available on the site.

We understand what timeliness and effectiveness of service delivery mean to our customers and believe that there is always room for improvement in the never-ending search for quality. Our health care practices at the Hospital are of the highest quality, as benchmarked against other hospitals.

Christamarianne Mission Hospital serves thousands of patients from 6000 throughout every year and  for over 20 years it has been a center of excellence in patient care and medical support. It treats over 6,000 people each year, has over 170 beds, and employs over 150 staff.

Overview of Mission Hospital in Kenya
