Pediatric Clinic
Our pediatric center covers 1 hectare within the 5-hectare Santa Martha Kids Care Center complex. Operational since 2016, it is now the only center specialized in child health in an area of approximately 30,000 km².
What began as a small pediatric consultation has grown into a set of services and specialties serving the children of the entire region.
Today we are the reference center for child health in all of Turkana North County, with the recognition and support of Kenya's Ministry of Health.
