Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital

What Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital does

Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital (MTRH) is a government-owned, Level Six multi-specialty international teaching and referral hospital headquartered in Eldoret, Kenya, operating under the Kenyan Ministry of Health. Founded in 1917, the institution spans 40+ clinical directorates and serves a catchment population of over 25 million people across 25 Western Kenyan counties and parts of Eastern Uganda, Northern Tanzania, Southern Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Its service portfolio includes advanced tertiary care such as cardiothoracic and vascular surgery, interventional radiology, hemato-oncology, nephrology with hemodiafiltration, organ and cochlear transplantation, and maternal and child health. MTRH also operates the MTRH College of Medicine, training approximately 1,000 healthcare students at any given time and producing hundreds of graduates annually across diplomas, certificates, and continuing professional programs.

The hospital's technology stack centers on a full ERP/EMRS implementation covering clinical, procurement, and administrative end-to-end modules, with telemedicine functionality for online bookings and remote consultations. Specialized capital equipment includes a 1.5 Tesla MRI machine (commissioned December 2024 with Government of Japan support), a catheterization laboratory, Fresenius 5008s Cordiax and 6008 CARE hemodiafiltration systems, and a 2,000 PSA oxygen-generating plant delivering oxygen directly to every patient bed. The laboratory holds ISO 15189:2022 3rd-cycle re-accreditation, and the catering facility is ISO 9001:2015 compliant. Underpinning operations is a deep partnership ecosystem spanning AMPATH (Indiana University-led U.S. consortium for 30+ years), Moi University, Princess Maxima Centre, Shoe4Africa Foundation, PEPFAR, Philips, Fresenius Medical Care, and bilateral donors.

MTRH's revenue model blends government allocations from the Ministry of Health with Social Health Authority (SHA) reimbursements for SHA-enrolled patients, fee-based services through the Private Wing (Amenity and Memorial units), and donor/partnership funding from USAID-AMPATH, the Japanese government, Eli Lilly, AstraZeneca, and other international supporters. Distribution is via direct hospital services at the main Eldoret campus, a 25-county referral network, mobile medical camps serving hundreds per event, telemedicine channels, and SHA-covered care. Expansion is underway with the 2,000-bed Kiplombe Multi-Specialty Hospital, the Wezesha Watoto Children's Neurodevelopment Centre, and a PPP-tendered Ultra-Modern Medical Training Complex, signaling significant near-term capacity scaling.
