Tenwek Hospital

Tenwek is a made up word as far as any of us can tell…perhaps relating to the 10 weeks it used to take to travel from the ocean to the hospital. But Tenwek has come to mean a place where competent, compassionate hands are there to help when you need them, 

Started by expats, the first doctor arrived in 1959 from the USA - Dr Ernie Steury. Now many years later the hospital is led by the Africa Gospel Church and staffed with many doctors from Kenya, East Africa and beyond.
