IcFEM Dreamland Mission

Hospital

Dreamland Mission Hospital (DMH) has been providing quality healthcare to the rural community in the Mount Elgon and Bungoma county of western Kenya since 1999. With over 100 local staff, DMH sees 50,000 patients a year and offers specialist eye, orthopaedic, and maxillofacial surgery.

Healthcare For All

DMH aims to work with government hospitals in order to develop and provide gap-filling services for the health care needs of the community. DMH does not look to make a profit – patients are enrolled in Kenya’s Social Health Insurance (SHA) fund which allows the hospital to claim back many of its costs from the government. We have a fund set aside for patients who may not be able to access SHA.

DMH runs a comprehensive outpatient service, including a 24/7 assessment by clinical officers, basic laboratory testing, pharmacy, orthopaedics, physiotherapy, child welfare clinics, family planning, and ante-natal and post-natal care. DMH is staffed by over 130 Kenyan clinical and support staff as well as international volunteers.
