The University invested a total of Ksh. 3 million towards the setting up of the newly commissioned level two health facility designed to provide timely outpatient services, counselling support, and essential medical care tailored to the needs of the students. The clinic is part of the University’s broader initiative to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can thrive academically, mentally, and physically.

In her remarks, Dr. Irene Njeri Muchoki commended the University for taking proactive steps to prioritize student health. She described the clinic as a “timely and strategic investment in youth wellness” that would ease pressure on external healthcare institutions and increase access to medical care for students who may otherwise struggle to find affordable and timely services.

“By commissioning this facility, KCA University is demonstrating leadership in student-centered service delivery,” Dr. Irene noted. “This move will reduce congestion in public hospitals while ensuring students have access to quality healthcare close to where they live, study, and grow.”.
