Original Project Scope
Tenwek Hospital is one of the largest mission hospitals in Africa. It provides primary health care to 600,000 Kipsigis people within a 32 kilometer radius and serves a referral center for a much larger region. Surrounding Tenwek are several small government dispensaries and health centers; many patient referrals come from those facilities. At Tenwek all types of medical and surgical conditions are treated. Tenwek hospital has 308 beds and includes large general wards for the surgery, medicine, pediatrics and obstetrical services.
EMI is assembling a team of engineers, architects, and surveyors, preferably with health care design experience. This structure will be the entry point for the campus. It will be a 2 story block building consisting of operating rooms, wards, exam rooms, and offices for ophthalmology (eye) care and dental care. This building will allow expansion of the eye work (80% of space) and dental work (20% of space) currently taking place at Tenwek. This expansion will also enable training and housing of eye-care providers in Kenya.We Treat - Jesus Heals This is the belief of the hospital staff and the hope that is shared with each patient. Tenwek is a place where God heals - join us and make a difference!
