📋 About Nakuru Level 6 Hospital
Nakuru Level 6 Hospital, officially Nakuru County Referral and Teaching Hospital, was previously known as Rift Valley Provincial General Hospital and, before that, Nakuru County Referral Hospital. The hospital was originally founded in 1906 as a military hospital, before being gazetted as a public hospital in 1956. In 2019, the hospital was elevated from Level 5 to Level 6, formally becoming a national referral hospital placed in the same rank as Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) and the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital, reflecting its expanded role serving the wider Rift Valley region.
The hospital is owned by the Ministry of Health and classified as a Specialized and Tertiary Referral facility, officially established under its current status on 17 March 2016. It is located in London Ward, Nakuru West Sub-County, next to the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Nakuru campus, near the Nakuru LSK show ground along Sigor Road. Per the official Ministry of Health facility registry, the hospital operates 24 hours a day, including weekends and late nights, and is listed as NHIF accredited (the scheme that has since transitioned into SHA/SHIF).
