About diagnostic centres in East Africa

Healthcare provision in East Africa is layered. Public hospitals serve the bulk of the population, faith-based hospitals fill critical gaps especially in rural areas, and a fast-growing private sector of hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, diagnostics labs and telemedicine startups caters to middle-class demand and increasingly to medical tourists from the broader region.

EABD lists hospitals, clinics, dental practices, optical centres, pharmacies, diagnostic and imaging labs, telemedicine providers, medical-equipment importers, and ancillary services like medical insurance brokers and home-care providers. Verified profiles show licensing where applicable, services offered, location, hours, and reviews, so patients and procurement teams can find providers without relying on a friend's recommendation.
