Nairobi’s healthcare system has dropped one place to fourth in a survey ranking that tracks the quality of services and equipment used for diagnosis and treatment as well as high-skilled medical personnel.
The Numbeo Health Index 2025 shows that though Nairobi improved by a marginal 0.7points points to 62.8 in 2025, it was toppled from its third position in 2024 by South Africa’s Pretoria— reflecting persistent challenges in the provision of critical services.
