About Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital

Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital (JOOTRH) is one of Kenya’s oldest and most significant public health institutions, serving as a major referral, teaching, and specialized care facility in the western part of the country. Established over a century ago to meet the health needs of workers in the Kisumu region, the hospital has grown into a Level 6 national referral and teaching institution, providing advanced healthcare services to communities across Kisumu County and beyond, with a catchment population of more than 10 million people. Located in Kisumu, JOOTRH offers a broad spectrum of comprehensive clinical services, including emergency and trauma care, medical and surgical specialties, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, diagnostic imaging, laboratory medicine, intensive care, oncology, and a range of other specialist services. The hospital’s expanding capacity and infrastructure reflect its commitment to high-quality patient care, with ongoing projects aimed at increasing bed space, enhancing specialty units, and introducing additional advanced treatment capabilities. As an accredited teaching hospital, JOOTRH plays a pivotal role in medical education and health workforce development. It collaborates with training institutions such as Maseno University and Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) to provide practical clinical training for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as health professionals across multiple disciplines. Through these partnerships and its internal programs, the hospital contributes to strengthening health systems and building capacity for future healthcare leaders in Kenya and the wider East African region. In recent years, JOOTRH has undergone significant transformation, including its elevation to a national referral hospital and state corporation, granting it greater autonomy, access to resources, and an expanded mandate to deliver tertiary healthcare, conduct research, and influence health policy. This transition is expected to enhance service delivery, reduce patient referrals to distant facilities, and improve outcomes for critical conditions. Guided by its mission to provide accessible, responsive, and quality healthcare through innovation, training, and research, JOOTRH continues to strengthen its role as a centre of excellence in clinical care, education, and medical research, making it a cornerstone of Kenya’s health sector.
