OUTPATIENT SERVICES

The Department of Health Services offers outpatient services at no additional cost to students. Students who require health services not available at the Department are referred to Embu Level 5 Hospital. Parents/Guardians are expected to cater for expenses for specialized services such as but not limited to optical, specialized dental procedures, radiology services and some specialized laboratory services.

INPATIENT SERVICES

If a student is found to be in need of in-patient care, they are referred to Embu Level 5 Hospital for admission. The parents/guardians are informed of the student’s condition as soon as possible and are expected to carter for the inpatient hospital bill. The parents/guardians are also allowed to transfer the student to a hospital of their choice but are advised to inform the University Head of Health Services and the Dean of Students.
NOTE: Students are encouraged to have a valid National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF) cover. The cover comes in handy to supplement the health services provided by the University such as when a student requires specialized radiology or inpatient services.
