List of level 5 hospitals in Kenya (Contacts and Location included)

Health was one of the very first government functions to be devolved. And with it, the government deemed it wise to reclassify the different government hospitals afresh. This is how the various hospital levels including level 5 hospitals were born.

Level 5 hospital meaning

Before we look at the List of level 5 hospitals in Kenya, let’s understand the meaning of the term level 5.

In short, level 5 hospital means provincial hospitals (if you’re to use the old categorization) or simply secondary facilities.

Level 5 health facilities are to deliver assorted medicare services as well as training services for various groups of health workers and internships. They also provide specialized care functions besides coordinating the management and extending health support to the sub-counties.

Other categories of hospitals in Kenya

Overall, healthcare services delivery is organized into various levels as follows:

  • Level 1 : This is the basic level and represents community-run health units. Its spearheaded mainly by qualified community health volunteers.
  • Level 2 Dispensaries: All dispensaries are classified as level 2.
  • Level 3 Health Centres: Health Centres in various sub-counties belong here.
  • Level 4 Sub-county hospitals (primary referrals): All the former district hospitals (currently referred to as primary facilities) are assigned to this class.
