Overview of NCHSM Kikuyu Campus

Nakuru College of Health Sciences & Management (NCHSM) Kikuyu Campus was established two years ago to meet the growing educational needs of learners in Nairobi, Kiambu, Ruiru, Juja, Wanginge, and surrounding areas. As the institution’s second branch, it upholds the same commitment to quality training as the main campus, offering a select range of in-demand programs. These include Health Care Assistant, Health Records & Information Technology, Perioperative Theatre Technology, and Computer Packages

While smaller in scale compared to the main campus, NCHSM Kikuyu Campus provides a conducive learning environment designed to support practical skills and academic excellence. Students benefit from well-equipped lecture spaces tailored for comfort and interactive learning.

Just like our main campus in the serene suburbs of Kiamunyi, the Kikuyu branch reflects NCHSM’s dedication to modern education standards. The institution maintains access to computer laboratories, skills training facilities, and essential learning resources, ensuring students receive hands-on exposure and relevant competencies required in today’s healthcare field.

NCHSM Kikuyu Campus continues to grow as a trusted center of training, expanding opportunities for students across the greater Nairobi metropolitan region.
