Hospital Construction Costs in Kenya – 2025 Insights

The cost of constructing a hospital in Kenya depends on:

1. Type and Size of Facility

• Small Clinics (50-100 sqm): Ksh 4M – 8M
• Medium Hospitals (300-800 sqm): Ksh 25M – 70M
• Full-Fledged Hospitals (1000+ sqm): Ksh 90M – 250M+

2. Hospital Design Standards

Modern hospitals require specialized rooms such as operating theatres, isolation wards, emergency units, and imaging rooms, all of which impact the cost. Adherence to Ministry of Health (MOH) guidelines and WHO design standards also affects pricing.

3. Finishes and Equipment Provisions

Provision for medical gas lines, anti-microbial flooring, air filtration systems, nurse call systems, elevators, and medical fittings add to the total investment.

4. Location and Site Conditions

Urban sites (e.g. Nairobi, Mombasa) may cost more due to access challenges and land prices, while rural setups may incur higher logistics costs.
