Where is the Machakos General Hospital?


The Machakos General Hospital is in Machakos Town, quite close to the Machakos Town Bus Terminus. Actually, if you are in the Machakos Town Bus Terminus, you can already see the Machakos General Hospital staff quarters and some of the Machakos General Hospital wards.
The main entrance to the Machakos General Hospital is to be found on the Machakos-Wote road (ou know, the road to Katoloni). From where the Machakos-Wote road starts is barely 80m to where the Machakos General Hospital main gate is. That gate is opposite where the road to Machakos GK Prison branches off.
So to get to the Machakos General Hospital, you only need to get to Machakos Town. Then once you are at Machakos Town (in the Machakos Bus and Matatus terminus), the Machakos General Hospital should be within a short walking distance – less than 200 meters.
The Machakos General Hospital in question here is a level 5 facility and is arguably the biggest public health facility in the entire Ukambani region. It receives patients not only from Machakos county, but also from Makueni county, some parts of Kitui county and even Kajiado county. It has decent facilities (including labs, theaters, wards, outpatient clinics and specialist clinics) though at times in can be quite congested. But if one is patient, they do eventually get seen.
