The Paediatric Cardiology specialty focuses on comprehensive heart care for children with congenital and acquired heart conditions. Our team provides advanced diagnostics, medical management, interventional procedures, and surgical support tailored to the unique needs of young patients.

We offer a full spectrum of services designed to support children with heart conditions throughout their growth and development. Care includes outpatient clinics, day-care procedures, inpatient management, and long-term follow-up.

We treat a wide range of childhood heart and circulatory conditions, including:

• Congenital heart defects such as septal defects, valve abnormalities, and complex malformations

• Improving early screening and detection of Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in infants and young children, so that children receive care as early as possible. In Kenya it is estimated that approximately 14,000 children are born with SCD each year and without early intervention many do not survive past their fifth birthday
• Developing and refining diagnostic pathways and treatment protocols that are tailored to Kenyan children taking into account regional disease prevalence, health-system realities, resource settings and local treatment challenges.
• Conducting studies into improving access to essential and exploring novel methods for management of complications common in our context.
• Researching the broader care continuum: from diagnosis and acute crisis management (painful vaso-occlusive events, infections, anaemia) to transfusion strategies, follow-up care, and long-term outcomes including quality of life and survivorship in children with SCD in Kenya.
• Working closely with partners at the national and county and integrating research findings into policy and care guidelines.
