@ young, what is it you want to know in terms of 'best'. Whats aspects are u looking for? Your question is too broad.

Thanks to you all, and apologies if my question is not clear.

I do not have any case in mind it is just a general thought on what is happening in Nigeria, west Africa where I reside.

There has been an upsurge of terminal diseases most often traceable to stress and modern livestyle , but there are no good hospitals locally to handle them in terms of medical personnel and equipments.

We now have situations where ailments are wrongly diagnosed or correct diagnoses is done late and recommendation for medical solution in Europe /America and of recent India are made.This makes it very exhorbitant as you have to consider air tickets and other sundry expenses before the medical bills.

My question is, does the same thing happen in Kenya or are there specialist govt or private hospitals with the right equipmens and manpower that can handle some of the terminal ailments mentioned above , If there is can you mention them and their specific area of specialisation ?
To my mind there is none in Nigeria, which I believe it is just too bad.

It is just a general question just for comparison, and nothing more.

@Young, I understand you. Been there and have heard of the tales of poor medical facilities in the land of Oga. I have also had the opportunity of experiencing health care in the general West Africa region. A colleague almost died of malaria in Liberia despite the UN facility, we had to fly him to Nairobi Hospital.

Kenya (Nairobi) in particular has some of the best hospitals in the region in terms of capacity (presence of consultants), facilities (modern equipment) and nursing. However the cost element tends to be exorbitant too especially in private hospitals (Many Kenyans seek specialized treatment in India where it is cheaper).

You sound like you have been away too long lakini you can sample several hospitals in Nairobi and choose your "best": Nairobi Hospital, Aga Khan, MP Shah, Kenyatta Hospital, Kijabe, Gertrude's, Karen etc.
