Changing Lives Since 1998

CURE Kenya was Africa’s first pediatric orthopedic teaching hospital when it opened in Kijabe in 1998. Each year it performs over 2,500 life-changing reconstructive and orthopedic surgeries for children suffering from treatable disabilities. The teaching hospital has 47 beds and four operating rooms. CURE International uses this facility as a regional learning facility by partnering with the College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa (COSECSA) to implement an orthopedic pediatric training program at the residency and fellowship levels. In addition to world-class clinical service, CURE Kenya ministers to the emotional and spiritual needs of patients and their communities. The African Inland Church (AIC) provided the initial land for the hospital premise as a gift to the people of Kenya.

Maryanne | Windswept Legs

Before Surgery

When Maryanne developed windswept legs, it prevented her from walking normally and drew ridicule from her community. Her mom feared nothing could be done, until they received a referral to CURE.

After Surgery

After CURE surgeons successfully straightened her legs, Maryanne can run, play, smile, and hope for the future.
