Cosmetic surgery driving Kenya's medical tourism
According to the Kenya Society of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (KSPRS), Kenya currently has around 32 registered plastic surgeons, with a further nine expected soon.
Cosmetic surgeons in Kenya are seeing an increase in the number of international patients seeking aesthetic procedures, with this figure doubling over the past five years.
At the AJ Plastic Surgery Centre in Nairobi, for example, enquiries and visits now total around 230 per month, up from approximately 100 three years ago. The clinic has treated around 3,000 patients in the past year.
