I got my first son in July at the Agha khan hospital, the treatment from the doctors and nurses who attended to my better half were very good and at least they were answering all the questions I was asking, they did not insist on CS as I hear most of this hospitals the moment they see insurance they create a need for CS even if the situation does not necessitate for one.
With the bouncing baby boy in the house soon after the ante-natal care of immunizing the young life there will come a time when we shall need to get paediatric hospital...
Fellow wazuans around the Nairobi area which hospital would you recommend for paediatric care?

Your first son? How many still to go?
And how many daughters are already carrying your genes?

At Gertrude’s (apart from the Muthaiga one) you will be attended by “Doctors” in their teens!

Congratulations.

Best hospitals is a hard one. You would get bad and good reviews in almost equal measure. Would recommend that you settle for a local one, one which is near where you live. This would make the diagnosis and treatment of your child to be easy in most cases. This would mean that you go for the hospitals with the best reviews in your 'local'.
Also never shy away from getting second opinions whenever you even have a hunch about the first one.

This is right. Aga Khan are patient, they take time to examine the baby, answer all your questions... they even ask if you still have any concern.

Most of them look like new in the field, working on gaining experience.

I used to take our youngest baby to Nairobi Hospital until one day they dealt with our case in record 4 minutes! Three days down the line, the baby got worse with chest infection, and we headed for Aga Khan and the doc there took 30 minutes to examine. The change was visible by that day evening!

About a month ago I took our son to the padeatric section of Nairobi Hospital. The doc prescribed 6 medications (yes 6) and did not touch the boy. When I asked her kwani she was not going to examine him, she asked him to open his month and stick out his tongue. She didnt even have a spatula to hold the tongue down. And that was the end of the examination (took about 13 seconds). I decided I was not going to help her meet her sales targets so I went to the pharmacy and asked to be given only 3 of the prescribed dawas. I sent an email to the CEO about my experience. I didnt hear from him.
Lord, thank you!

Wouldn't be surprised to hear that you had queued for 2 hours.

Wish u could get hold of one Dr. Kituyi of Afya Royal hapo uchumi ngong road.
You 'll see her in aghakhan attending to private patients.
