24-hour outpatient care at the main entrance of the hospital
The Outpatient Department (OPD) is situated at the main entrance of the hospital, which facilitates faster and more convenient attendance of critical situations — especially patients from accident scenes. Our nurses are always ready to handle any patient need at any time, day or night.
Critically ill patients can be wheeled freely to other crucial departments (laboratory, X-ray, etc.) by qualified nurses, ensuring swift diagnosis and treatment. The OPD operates twenty-four hours a day, providing continuous care to the Mwea community and beyond.
The OPD is well equipped to ensure patients reach the point of service quickly and comfortably.
