What we do
Nine departments. One connected team.
Every service at Gilgil Annex Hospital is built to work with the others — so your lab results reach your clinician the same day, your scan informs treatment immediately, and a referral never means starting over.
01 · In-house pharmacy
Pharmacy & Drugs
Our pharmacy closes the gap between diagnosis and recovery. Every prescription is dispensed by qualified pharmaceutical technologists who check dosages, flag interactions and explain exactly how each medicine should be taken.
When to use this service
- You have a prescription from any of our clinicians
- Refills for ongoing chronic disease medication
- Advice on medicines, dosages or side effects
- Everyday health essentials and over-the-counter needs
Typical flow: Present your prescription → Pharmacist review → Dispense & explain
02 · Walk-ins welcome
Outpatient Care
Our outpatient department is the front door of the hospital — a busy, welcoming clinic where most patient journeys begin. Whether you are managing a long-term condition, bringing a child with a fever, or simply due for a check-up, our clinicians take the time to listen before they treat.
When to use this service
- Fever, cough, headache or symptoms that are not improving
- Blood pressure or blood sugar reviews
- Persistent fatigue, weight change or unexplained pain
- Routine check-ups and preventative screening
Typical flow: Check in → Triage → Consultation → Test & treat
03 · 24/7 theatre
Inpatient & Surgical
When care cannot safely happen at home, our inpatient wards provide round-the-clock nursing, monitoring and medical review in a calm, clean environment. Every admission is managed by a named clinical team, and families are kept informed at every stage.
When to use this service
- A clinician has advised admission for monitoring or treatment
- Surgery has been scheduled at any of our branches
- Severe pain, dehydration or infection needing IV treatment
- Post-surgical follow-up or wound review
Typical flow: Pre-admission → Procedure → Recovery → Discharge
04 · Same-day results
Laboratory Diagnostics
Accurate diagnosis drives every good treatment decision. Our laboratory runs a full menu of tests — blood counts, blood sugars and HbA1c, liver and kidney profiles, malaria and TB testing, urinalysis, pregnancy tests, cultures and more — with strict internal quality control on every batch.
When to use this service
- Your clinician has requested blood, urine or stool tests
- Routine chronic disease monitoring (diabetes, hypertension)
- Persistent fever, fatigue or unexplained symptoms
- Pre-employment or insurance medical examinations
Typical flow: Request → Sample → Analysis → Results
05 · Digital imaging
Radiology & Imaging
Our imaging department provides digital X-ray and ultrasound services with fast turnaround and specialist interpretation. Digital imaging means lower radiation doses, sharper images, and results that can be shared instantly with your clinical team.
When to use this service
- Suspected fractures, joint injuries or persistent bone pain
- Chest symptoms needing clarity — cough, breathlessness, chest pain
- Obstetric scans during pregnancy
- Abdominal pain, swelling or unexplained symptoms
Typical flow: Referral → Scan → Reporting
06 · Specialized
Eye Clinic
Vision changes quietly, and children especially may not realise they cannot see clearly. Our eye clinic offers comprehensive screening, refraction and treatment of common eye conditions — from conjunctivitis and allergies to cataracts, glaucoma screening and diabetic eye disease.
When to use this service
- Blurred, double or progressively worsening vision
- Eye pain, redness, discharge or persistent itching
- Children squinting, sitting close to screens or underperforming at school
- Diabetes or hypertension — annual eye screening recommended
Typical flow: Screening → Examination → Care plan
07 · Family-first
Maternal & Child Health
From the first antenatal visit to a child's fifth birthday, our MCH team walks with families through every milestone. Antenatal clinics cover regular check-ups, scans, blood tests, supplements and birth planning — all delivered with warmth, privacy and respect.
When to use this service
- A positive pregnancy test — book your first antenatal visit
- Any stage of pregnancy with pain, bleeding or reduced fetal movement
- Delivery, or postnatal check-ups for mother and baby
- Immunization visits and child growth monitoring
Typical flow: First visit → Regular reviews → Birth → Growing well
08 · By appointment
Specialized Clinics
Specialist care shouldn't require a journey across the county. Our scheduled clinics bring consultant-led services to Gilgil on regular clinic days — covering areas like physician medicine, paediatrics, surgery, orthopaedics, ENT, dermatology and mental wellness.
When to use this service
- Your clinician has recommended a specialist opinion
- A long-term condition that needs expert adjustment
- Persistent symptoms not resolving with standard treatment
- Post-hospital follow-up with a specialist team
Typical flow: Book → Attend → Plan
09 · Always open
Emergency Response
Emergencies don't keep office hours — and neither do we. Our emergency unit is staffed 24 hours a day, every day of the year, with a triage system that ensures the most critical patients are treated first and stabilised rapidly.
When to use this service
- Chest pain, severe breathlessness or stroke symptoms
- Severe bleeding, injury or suspected fracture
- High fever, seizures, altered consciousness
- Severe abdominal pain, poisoning or allergic reaction
Typical flow: Call or arrive → Triage → Stabilise & treat → Admit or follow up
