Healthcare Challenges Facing Patients from Mombasa

Mombasa, Kenya's coast city and second-largest urban centre, has Coast General Teaching and Referral Hospital as its primary medical facility. But for serious illness — cancer, cardiac surgery, kidney transplant — Mombasa patients are routinely referred to Nairobi, and then often abroad. Nairobi's private hospitals are expensive, and South Africa is financially out of reach for most Mombasa families. India gives Coast Province patients a direct, affordable route to the world-class treatment they need.

  • Coast General Hospital lacks specialist oncology and transplant facilities
  • Nairobi referral adds cost and travel burden for Mombasa families
  • Private Mombasa hospitals charge near-Nairobi rates for complex procedures
  • IVF treatment of limited quality available in Mombasa
