AIC Kijabe Hospital

AIC Kijabe Hospital, founded in 1916, stands as the inaugural hospital at the Kijabe mission station and has evolved into a vital referral medical center. Initially serving as Theodora Hospital, it transitioned to a referral role in 1957, with the current complex beginning construction in 1961, initially housing sixty-five beds and a surgical unit. By 1969, a second building was completed, featuring a thirty-bed maternity unit and an advanced theatre. Operated by the Africa Inland Church (AIC) as part of a broader network of four hospitals and forty-five dispensaries across Kenya, AIC Kijabe Hospital's core mission is to glorify God through medical ministry, emphasizing excellence in medical care, professional training, and spiritual support for patients, staff, and students. The hospital has grown in tandem with the surrounding town, becoming a central hub for healthcare.

The institution offers a wide array of medical services, boasting one of the most comprehensive healthcare offerings in Kenya. Its commitment to medical education is evident through various training programs, including a three-and-a-half-year community nurse training program initiated in 1980, a two-year dental training program started in 1991, and an Intern Training Program for Christian Kenyan doctors launched in 1995. These initiatives underscore the hospital's dedication to developing skilled medical professionals.
