How referrals work
Kenya's health system has six levels. Patients normally begin at a clinic, health centre or county hospital and are referred upwards when they need services that facility cannot give. A referral letter from your doctor helps the receiving hospital prepare and lowers delays.
6
National referral
The most specialised care in the country, plus teaching and research. Examples: neurosurgery, cardiothoracic surgery, transplant and cancer treatment.
5
County / regional referral
Large hospitals with specialists, intensive care, advanced surgery and imaging. Receive patients from level 4 hospitals.
4
County and sub-county hospitals
Inpatient care, emergency and caesarean surgery, laboratory and X-ray. The first referral point from health centres.
3
Health centres
Outpatient care, maternity, minor procedures and basic laboratory.
2
Dispensaries and clinics
First formal contact: basic outpatient care, immunisation and antenatal care.
1
Community health
