Consolata Hospital Nkubu

Consolata Hospital Nkubu is a faith based health institution under the Catholic Diocese of Meru. It is one of the essential services of the apostolic mission of the Catholic Diocese of Meru.“Healing Ministry” The challenge of serious medical and maternity cases calling for admission led to the construction of a small hospital consisting of emergency room, maternity room and male and female wards in 1950. The sisters were overwhelmed by serious cases and therefore they invited the services of a doctor in 1951 called Dr. E William (Miss). To ensure consultancy of doctors the sisters engaged an NGO called CUAMM and the first doctor from NGO was sent in 1953 by the name Dr. Landra. The arrival of Dr. Anacleto Dal Lago in 1955 brought new energy and vision of the hospital by re-planning the hospital to cater for emergency needs and challenges. Over 60% of the current hospital structures were designed by him. These included: X-Ray department in 1957, the only service available in the whole of the region and medical ward in 1958.
