Kisumu
Kisumu, Kenya's third largest city, is the beating heart of the Lake Victoria basin — a port city of warmth, colour and remarkable clinical diversity that locals proudly call the "City of Stars".
Kisumu sits on the northeastern shore of Lake Victoria and serves as the commercial and cultural capital of western Kenya. Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, one of Kenya's major public hospitals, anchors the city's healthcare system and provides elective students with exposure across medicine, surgery, paediatrics, and obstetrics at significant scale.
The city's waterfront, the Kisumu Impala Sanctuary, and the lively Kibuye Market round out an experience that is as culturally engaging as it is clinically valuable. The prevalence of lake-related and tropical diseases, combined with a high HIV burden in the region, makes Kisumu one of the most educationally rich placements in our Kenya portfolio.
