Our aim
Footprints Paediatrics was set up in 2013 with the aim of using our experience in a wide variety of paediatric specialities in order to provide top quality care for children in Nairobi. We are unique in being a team of fully internationally trained paediatricians whose practice is based on international evidence based guidelines.
Our clinic is situated within The Nest Children's Village - a charitable home for abandoned and orphaned children for whom we also provide medical care.
We are fortunate to be parents to two boys who keep us busy and are constantly teaching us new aspects of paediatrics!
