KCA University Commissions New Town Campus Clinic to Enhance Student Health Services

KCA University marked a significant milestone on 30th May 2025 with the official commissioning of the KCAU Town Campus Clinic, a dedicated health facility aimed at improving the well-being of students. The commissioning was presided over by Dr. Irene Njeri Muchoki, County Chief Officer- Medical Services, Nairobi City County.

The University invested a total of Ksh. 3 million towards the setting up of the newly commissioned level two health facility designed to provide timely outpatient services, counselling support, and essential medical care tailored to the needs of the students. The clinic is part of the University’s broader initiative to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can thrive academically, mentally, and physically.

In her remarks, Dr. Irene Njeri Muchoki commended the University for taking proactive steps to prioritize student health. She described the clinic as a “timely and strategic investment in youth wellness” that would ease pressure on external healthcare institutions and increase access to medical care for students who may otherwise struggle to find affordable and timely services.

“By commissioning this facility, KCA University is demonstrating leadership in student-centered service delivery,” Dr. Irene noted. “This move will reduce congestion in public hospitals while ensuring students have access to quality healthcare close to where they live, study, and grow.”.

The clinic’s services are expected to have a transformative impact on the student experience—enabling early diagnosis, mental health support, and continuity of care for those with ongoing medical needs.
