AKU is currently planning a major expansion of its existing work in East Africa, in the fields of medical, nursing and teacher education.

In July 2005, AKU integrated into its academic and service activities, a teaching hospital in Nairobi, Kenya.

AKUH, N is focusing on high quality of care, research and postgraduate medical education in all major clinical specialties including medicine, surgery, radiology, pathology, anaesthesia, obstetrics-gynaecology and paediatrics.

AKUH, N is also continuing to play a vital role as a major teaching site for the Advanced Nursing Studies programme of AKU, which has provided continuing professional education for practicing nurses in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda since 2001.

With this new development, AKU aims to strengthen existing partnerships with the ministries of health and other universities in the region offering health sciences education, with a view to share experiences, strengthen public sector delivery systems and collaborate on teaching and research.
