Aga Khan University Hospital opens Roysambu Specialty Care Centre

And now those who live in the Mount Kenya Region and along Thika Road have a reason to smile owing to the recently opened Specialty Care Centre in Roysambu.

The Roysambu Specialty Care Centre offers chemotherapy, endoscopy daycare surgery services and dialysis, at lower costs compared to the main hospital.

“The facility is supported by the renowned Aga Khan University Hospital specialists who will be coming from the main hospital to take care of the patients, hence delivering the same quality of care you’d receive there but at a subsidised cost,” said Khurram Jamal, the hospital’s Chief Operating Officer, Outreach Network,

Located on the ground floor of Jewel Plaza in the populous Roysambu area, the facility is the latest addition to the 54 AKUH medical centres spread across Kenya and Uganda.

“The objective of this clinic is to bring specialised services closer to the community; to the people who need it,” added Dr Amina Kidee, an Oncologist offering cancer care at the centre.

Dr Amina added: “Cancer can be life-limiting because of late diagnosis. We have brought the care people need. The centre was inspired by the need to make it easy and efficient for people to get these life-saving care without necessarily going to the main hospital in Parklands.”
