MOMBASA, KENYA, 18 February 2024 – Aga Khan Health Service, Kenya, is proud to announce the completion of the renovation project at Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing commitment to providing quality healthcare to a population base of nearly 1.2 million people. The newly refurbished facility has transformed the 86-bed facility into a state-of-the-art 115-bed secondary hospital, offering comprehensive, integrated health services to the communities it serves.
The renovation project represents a total investment of US$12.2 Million, with a loan of US$8.54 million from Agence Française de Développement and additional funding of US$3.68 million from the Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) and internal reserves.
Princess Zahra Aga Khan, Chair of the Executive Committee of the Aga Khan Health Services, and Mr. Bertrand Willocquet, Country Director of Agence Française de Développement, visited Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa today, to witness the completion of the renovation project. Both dignitaries expressed their satisfaction with the renovation and the enhanced capacity brought about by this renovation.
Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa, with its outreach centres, stands as the premier healthcare service provider in the coastal region, consistently expanding its reach and diversifying services to meet the evolving healthcare needs of the community. Since the inauguration of a 4-bed maternity home in the Ganjoni area of Mombasa in 1944, the integrated health network has grown into a central hub serving over 05 counties in the Coastal region through purpose-built facilities, highly qualified and skilled doctors and nurses committed to delivering quality healthcare.
In a significant milestone, Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa, has been awarded the prestigious SafeCare Level 5 Certification, the highest-level certification, reinforcing its dedication to safe and quality patient care. This accolade makes it the first AKHS Kenya Hospital to achieve such recognition, with eight of our Outreach Health Centres also attaining SafeCare Level 5 certification.
The newly renovated Aga Khan Hospital, Mombasa, is poised to provide enhanced healthcare services to the people of the Coastal Region and Kenya at large. The facility now features a dedicated Accidents and Emergency Unit, a larger Intensive Care Unit, the region’s first Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in private sector, and the inaugural Sleep Lab utilising cutting-edge technology for diagnosing and treating sleep disorders. Holding Level 5 certification from SafeCare Health Standards, the hospital is well-equipped to offer specialised care in cardiology, oncology, neurology, psychiatry, advanced surgeries, and more. This development underscores our commitment to advancing healthcare accessibility and delivering comprehensive, high-quality services to the community.
