A Beacon of Healthcare Excellence in Western Kenya

Trans Nzoia Teaching & Referral Hospital
Poised for the future

The Hospital will be significantly large and have ample space for expansion (Approximately 12,000 sq feet). Construction, maintenance and facilitation will be done under the advantage of patnerships with renowned firms, corporate entities and consultants. The institution will ultimately reduce the cost of health through reduction of long distance referrals and enhancement of access to healthcare because of the established pool of highly skilled health personnel and a robust infrastructure. It will also standardize the cost of health by being the link between the client and the specialist and thus ensure that specialists do not charge for services depending on their perception about the financial status of the clients they serve.

Shaping Patient-centric Healing Centres
Uniquely Positioned

With the target market being residents of Trans Nzoia, West Pokot, Turkana and Bungoma counties, a population mainly composed of farmers (majority peasant) who are required to incur huge travel and accommodation expenses to access specialized services, the location of the hospital is therefore overtly strategic because it is close to these people. The urban centers in these counties have populations that are mainly involved in formal employment which include the civil service, banking institutions, universities, factories and various private businesses that deal with household goods and construction materials..
