Mediheal Hospitals (Parklands), Nairobi is located at Parklands Mediplaza on 3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi. The Parklands facility is still listed by current provider directories, while Mediheal’s own published material identifies the same 3rd Parklands Avenue location. (Mediheal Group)
For commuters, the hospital belongs to the Parklands–3rd Parklands Avenue–Limuru Road–Ngara/Westlands transport network. The critical last-mile detail is 3rd Parklands Avenue opposite Aga Khan University Hospital, rather than simply “Parklands.”

Where is Mediheal Hospital Parklands?
Mediheal Hospital Parklands is located at Parklands Mediplaza, 3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan University Hospital. Current provider listings continue to identify Mediheal at this location.
For the Metros transport database, the destination should therefore be structured as:
Mediheal Hospital Parklands → Parklands Mediplaza → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Parklands → Nairobi transport network
When asking for directions, specify:
“Mediheal Hospital, 3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan Hospital.”
This is much more precise than asking for Mediheal or Parklands alone.
Getting to Mediheal Hospital Parklands from Nairobi CBD
Passengers travelling from Nairobi CBD should use services heading towards Parklands, Highridge or the Limuru Road side of northern Nairobi.
The broad journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Ngara/Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
Depending on the service used, passengers may need to alight at a recognised Parklands connection and complete the short final journey towards 3rd Parklands Avenue.
Passengers unfamiliar with Nairobi CBD boarding points can use the Nairobi Bus Stations, Matatu Stages & Termini Guide before travelling.
Tell the conductor:
“Mediheal, 3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan.”
3rd Parklands Avenue is the key destination road
The most important transport detail for this hospital is 3rd Parklands Avenue.
The commuter hierarchy is:
Origin → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Parklands Mediplaza → Mediheal Hospital
This prevents a common destination problem: reaching Parklands but ending up some distance from the actual medical facility.
Mediheal’s published material and current provider listings consistently place the facility on 3rd Parklands Avenue opposite Aga Khan University Hospital. (Mediheal Group)
Aga Khan University Hospital is the strongest landmark
One of the easiest ways to identify Mediheal’s location is through Aga Khan University Hospital.
The two facilities are on the same immediate 3rd Parklands Avenue hospital zone, with Mediheal listed opposite Aga Khan Hospital. (KenGen SRBS)
For a commuter, this creates a particularly useful destination instruction:
“3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan Hospital.”
Even when a driver or conductor is less familiar with Mediheal by name, Aga Khan Hospital is a major local transport landmark.
Coming from Ngara
Ngara provides an important interchange between Nairobi CBD and Parklands.
The journey can broadly be understood as:
Ngara → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
Passengers already in Ngara should therefore look for the appropriate Parklands connection rather than travelling back into the CBD unnecessarily.
Ask whether the service provides a useful drop-off for 3rd Parklands Avenue/Aga Khan Hospital.
Coming from Highridge
Passengers travelling from Highridge are already within the wider Parklands transport area.
The journey becomes:
Highridge → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
Depending on the exact starting point, the final journey may be relatively short.
The key is to orient the journey towards Aga Khan Hospital/3rd Parklands Avenue rather than simply towards central Parklands.
Coming from Westlands
Passengers travelling from Westlands are geographically close to Parklands.
Start with the Westlands Transport, Matatu Routes & Stages Guide.
A practical journey can be:
Westlands → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
There is generally no need for a passenger already in Westlands to travel into Nairobi CBD first if an appropriate Parklands connection is available.
The exact interchange depends on where within Westlands the journey begins.
Coming from Limuru Road
Passengers approaching through Limuru Road should identify the most practical Parklands connection for 3rd Parklands Avenue.
The broad journey is:
Limuru Road → Parklands connection → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
This makes the hospital part of the wider Limuru Road–Parklands transport network, although its actual destination road remains 3rd Parklands Avenue.
Passengers should confirm the appropriate alighting point before boarding.
Coming from Ruaka
Passengers travelling from Ruaka can use Nairobi-bound services through the wider Limuru Road corridor and connect towards Parklands.
The journey can broadly be understood as:
Ruaka → Limuru Road → Parklands connection → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
Passengers should avoid automatically travelling all the way into Nairobi CBD if their service provides a practical Parklands interchange.
The Nairobi Matatu Routes and Numbers database provides the wider network of routes serving the Limuru Road/Ruaka side of Nairobi.
Coming from Muthaiga
Passengers travelling from Muthaiga are relatively close to the Parklands medical district.
A practical journey is broadly:
Muthaiga → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
The nearby Gertrude’s Children’s Hospital Muthaiga transport guide helps establish the Muthaiga side of this northern-central Nairobi healthcare network.
Mediheal, however, belongs specifically to the Parklands/3rd Parklands Avenue destination.
Coming from Kiambu Road and Ridgeways
Passengers approaching from Kiambu Road or Ridgeways should connect towards Muthaiga/Parklands.
The broad journey is:
Kiambu Road/Ridgeways → Muthaiga → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
The AAR Hospital Kiambu Road Transport Guide provides useful context for the Kiambu Road/Muthaiga North side of this network.
Passengers should establish the Parklands connection before travelling.
Coming from Kasarani and Thika Road
Passengers travelling from Kasarani, Roysambu and other parts of Thika Road can use southbound services towards the Pangani/Ngara side of central Nairobi before connecting to Parklands.
A typical journey is:
Kasarani/Roysambu → Thika Road → Pangani/Ngara → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
The Route 49 Nairobi–Kasarani Guide can help establish the first part of this journey.
Passengers should consider changing around the Pangani/Ngara side where practical rather than automatically travelling deeper into Nairobi CBD.
Coming from Githurai, Kahawa and Ruiru
Passengers travelling south along Thika Road from Githurai, Kahawa or Ruiru can similarly connect towards Parklands.
The journey can broadly be understood as:
Githurai/Kahawa/Ruiru → Thika Road → Pangani/Ngara → Parklands → Mediheal
Passengers from Ruiru can use the Route 146 Nairobi–Ruiru Guide to understand the first section of the journey.
The key interchange is from the Thika Road network into the Parklands network.
Coming from Eastleigh
Passengers travelling from Eastleigh should connect towards Pangani/Ngara and Parklands.
The journey can broadly be:
Eastleigh → Pangani/Ngara → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
The General Waruingi Street Matatu Routes Guide provides useful context for the Eastleigh/Pangani transport network.
This journey also illustrates why passengers must specify which Mediheal facility they need.
Do not confuse Mediheal Parklands with Mediheal Eastleigh
Mediheal has a separate facility in Eastleigh.
The two destinations require very different journeys:
Mediheal Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → opposite Aga Khan Hospital
Mediheal Eastleigh → First Avenue → 19th Street → Eastleigh
Passengers should check the facility listed on their appointment before travelling.
A matatu heading to Eastleigh will not take a passenger to the Parklands facility.
Coming from Pumwani
Passengers starting in Pumwani can connect through the Pangani/Ngara side towards Parklands.
The journey may be:
Pumwani → Pangani/Ngara → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
The Pumwani Maternity Hospital Transport Guide and General Waruingi Street Matatu Routes Guide help establish the first part of the network.
Coming from Upper Hill
Passengers travelling from Upper Hill will normally require an interchange.
The easiest journey for an unfamiliar commuter is:
Upper Hill → Nairobi CBD → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal Hospital
Some passengers may find a cross-city connection avoiding the CBD depending on their starting point.
Passengers should also check the facility named on their appointment because Mediheal has historically listed a separate diagnostic/day-care operation in Upper Hill. (Mediheal Group)
Coming from Ngong Road and Kawangware
Passengers travelling from Ngong Road, Kawangware or Dagoretti will generally need a cross-city interchange.
Start with the Ngong Road–Karen Matatu Connections Guide.
For an unfamiliar commuter, the easiest journey is:
Ngong Road/Kawangware → Nairobi CBD → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
Passengers familiar with Nairobi’s network may find a connection through Westlands that avoids the CBD.
Coming from Eastlands
Passengers travelling from Buruburu, Umoja, Kayole and surrounding areas will normally need to connect across the city.
The simplest journey to understand is:
Eastlands → Nairobi CBD/Ngara → Parklands → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Mediheal
Depending on the origin, Pangani may provide another useful interchange.
The important final destination remains 3rd Parklands Avenue opposite Aga Khan Hospital.
Mediheal, Aga Khan and M.P. Shah form an important hospital cluster
Parklands contains several major healthcare facilities within a relatively compact area.
Metros now has transport records for:
and this Page adds:
Mediheal Hospital Parklands
The relationship becomes:
Parklands transport network → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Aga Khan/Mediheal
and:
Parklands transport network → Shivachi Road → M.P. Shah
This distinction is important because the hospitals are geographically close but do not share exactly the same final destination.
Where should you alight?
The exact alighting point depends on the service used and direction of travel.
The most useful instruction is:
“Mediheal Hospital, 3rd Parklands Avenue, opposite Aga Khan Hospital.”
Tell the conductor before boarding.
If the matatu does not enter 3rd Parklands Avenue, ask for the most practical recognised stage or junction for Aga Khan Hospital/3rd Parklands Avenue and complete the final connection from there.
Do not simply ask to be dropped somewhere in Parklands.
Finding the correct SACCO or operator
Different matatu operators serve Parklands, Highridge, Limuru Road and surrounding northern Nairobi corridors.
Once the appropriate route has been established, passengers can use the Nairobi Matatu SACCOs, Routes & Destinations Directory to understand the operator side of the journey.
For Mediheal Parklands, the database model becomes:
Mediheal Hospital → Parklands Mediplaza → 3rd Parklands Avenue → Parklands → route → stage → SACCO/operator
This is considerably more precise than associating the hospital with Parklands generally.
Travel time and fares
Journey times depend on the passenger’s origin and traffic conditions around Nairobi CBD, Ngara, Parklands, Limuru Road and surrounding roads.
Passengers travelling for scheduled appointments should allow additional time during weekday morning and evening peaks.
Journeys requiring an interchange will generally take longer.
Fares vary and can change at any time.
Confirm the fare before boarding each vehicle.
Travelling to Mediheal for medical care
Public transport guidance is most appropriate for scheduled appointments, routine treatment, hospital visits, follow-up care, discharge journeys and other non-emergency travel.
For a serious or life-threatening medical emergency, do not delay appropriate care while trying to navigate the matatu network.
Use appropriate emergency medical transport where required.
Metros maintains the Nairobi Emergency Numbers and Nairobi Ambulance Services & Emergency Contacts guides.
Mediheal Parklands within the Nairobi hospital transport network
Mediheal Parklands strengthens the Nairobi Hospitals & Emergency Services database by adding another major destination to the Parklands healthcare cluster.
The wider geographic network now becomes:
Westlands → Parklands → M.P. Shah
Ngara → Parklands → Aga Khan/Mediheal
Muthaiga → Parklands → Aga Khan/Mediheal
Limuru Road → Parklands → hospital cluster
This allows Metros to connect hospital destinations not only to individual matatu routes but to the roads, stages, interchanges and neighbouring transport corridors that commuters actually use.
