The Aga Khan Hospitals — including the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi and Aga Khan Hospitals in Mombasa and Kisumu — are among the most respected private healthcare providers in Kenya. They employ nurses, clinical officers, doctors, laboratory, pharmacy and radiology technologists, and support and administrative staff, offering high-standard, benefited careers for qualified, licensed healthcare workers. This independent guide covers the kinds of roles, indicative pay in Kenyan shillings, how to apply officially, and how to avoid the fake “Aga Khan Hospital job” scams.
Quick facts: Pay from about KES 18,000/month (support) to KES 350,000+ (specialists), with nurses and clinical officers well paid. Regulated roles need licensing (Nursing Council, KMPDC and others). Apply only through official channels — the hospital never charges for jobs. Currency guide: 1 USD ≈ 130 KES (indicative).
About the Aga Khan Hospitals as an Employer
The Aga Khan Health Services run a leading teaching hospital in Nairobi and hospitals and outreach facilities in Mombasa, Kisumu and beyond, known for quality care, accreditation and training. As a premium private healthcare employer, they offer strong pay, benefits, professional development and clear career paths for licensed clinical staff and support teams.
Because the name is so respected, it is misused in recruitment scams. Genuine hiring is through official channels, and no real Aga Khan process asks a job seeker to pay a fee.

Currency: 1 USD is about 130 KES, indicative and for illustration only. As a premium private employer, the hospitals add strong benefits, medical cover and professional development. Figures vary by role and experience.
Nurses and Clinical Officers
Ward, theatre, critical-care and outpatient roles — licensed professions in steady demand.
Technologists and Allied Health
Laboratory, pharmacy, radiology and therapy roles — licensed and well-paid.
Support and Administration
Patient attendants, reception, records and administration — accessible and essential.
Licensing and Requirements: The Crucial Step
Regulated clinical roles require training from a recognised institution and registration with the relevant council — the Nursing Council of Kenya for nurses, the Clinical Officers Council, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council for doctors, the Pharmacy and Poisons Board and the laboratory technologists board. Premium private hospitals also value experience and English communication.
| Requirement | Where / How | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Recognised qualification | Medical training institutions | Baseline for clinical roles |
| Professional licence | The relevant council/board | Legally required to practise |
| Experience | — | Valued by premium hospitals |
| Certificate of Good Conduct | DCI | Required |
| KRA PIN | Kenya Revenue Authority | Formal, taxed employment |
Anyone promising a licensed clinical job with no training and no registration is misleading you.
Insurance, Benefits and Money
Aga Khan roles include NSSF contributions, SHA cover and strong group medical benefits, with professional indemnity relevant for clinicians.
