The Nairobi Women's Hospital

Maternity Care

                 With a focus on women's healthcare, The Nairobi Women's Hospital has a fully fledged maternity wing which includes both VIP and general wards as well as a neonatal unit. We also offer a wide range of maternity packages from which our clients can select their from, with the guidance of a qualified staff member. Our staff are also available to give a hospital and facility tour to any interested soon-to-be mums and dads

Maternity Packages

Our maternity packages are tailor-made to meet the maternity needs of different women. These packages are ideal for cash-paying clients since they are prepaid. They are also easy on the pocked and we allow the client to pay in installments and only expect full payment by the 8th month of the gestation period. As for the clients whose medical care is handled either directly by their company or by an insurance company, we will still offer maternity care but give an itemized bill since direct and insurance companies deal with the hospital on a post-paid basis.
