Nairobi Governor Sakaja Johnson has announced the opening of an expanded renal unit at Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, a major milestone in the county’s efforts to improve access to life-saving dialysis services and strengthen specialised healthcare.

The modern renal facility, located at the Level 5 hospital in Umoja II, Embakasi West, is equipped with state-of-the-art dialysis machines and staffed by an experienced nephrology team to provide comprehensive kidney care.

Sakaja on Sunday said the unit will offer hemodialysis services, comprehensive renal care, individualised treatment plans, nutrition and lifestyle guidance, as well as counselling and patient support services.

“The expansion of our renal services reflects our commitment to ensuring Nairobi residents can access quality, affordable and specialised healthcare without having to travel long distances. This facility will improve treatment outcomes for patients living with kidney disease,” said Sakaja.
