Nurse Anaesthetist Job at JOOTRH Kisumu
About Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching & Referral Hospital (JOOTRH)
JOOTRH has been in existence for more than a century, having been established in the early 1900s to cater for the health needs of workers at the then port town of Kisumu. Since then it has grown to become the referral hospital serving County, Sub-county, and private hospitals in more than 10 Counties in the Western Kenya region with a population of more than 10 million people.
The hospital was commissioned in 1969 and has seen significant development through funding from the Kenyan government and now the county government, improving both in-patient capacity and out-patient facilities to its present state.
Historical Note: The hospital's inception was influenced by the high prevalence of malaria and other diseases in the former Port Florence (now Kisumu). Victoria Hospital was established in 1932 to cater for the white population during the colonial era and is currently the amenity wing of JOOTRH.
