The Embakasi–Donholm–Fedha–Pipeline corridor contains a significant network of public hospitals, private hospitals, health centres and medical facilities serving residents across eastern Nairobi.
For commuters, Jogoo Road, Outer Ring Road, Airport North Road and the wider Embakasi road network provide the main public transport connections between these facilities and Nairobi CBD.
This guide brings major facilities in the area together while giving each hospital its own transport section so that commuters searching for a specific hospital can find its location, matatu connection and nearest useful landmark.

This guide covers:
Bristol Park Hospital Fedha | Eastmark Medical Centre Donholm | Glenfin Donholm Hospital | Abrar Health Services Donholm | Missioncare Nursing Home Pipeline | Embakasi Health Centre | Scion Hospital Embakasi | Equity Afya Donholm
It also explains how these facilities connect with the wider Donholm–Outer Ring Road–Fedha–Pipeline–Embakasi transport network.
Bristol Park Hospital Fedha Transport: Matatu Routes, Stages & Directions
Bristol Park Hospital Fedha is an operational Level 4 hospital located along Fedha Road in Fedha Estate. Kenya’s Master Health Facility Registry records the hospital as operating 24 hours.
For commuters, the hospital belongs directly to the Fedha–Outer Ring Road–Embakasi transport network.
The basic journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Fedha Road → Bristol Park Hospital
How to Get to Bristol Park Hospital Fedha from Nairobi CBD
Route 33 is one of the most useful services for passengers travelling from Nairobi CBD towards Fedha.
Metros documents the general Route 33 corridor as:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline/Embakasi
Route 33 Nairobi to Embakasi, Fedha & Pipeline
Tell the conductor:
“Bristol Park Hospital, Fedha Road.”
Do not simply ask for Embakasi because the wider Embakasi area contains numerous estates and stopping points.
Where to Alight for Bristol Park Hospital Fedha
The key destination is Fedha Estate, followed by the appropriate connection towards Fedha Road.
The government registry identifies Fedha Estate as the hospital’s nearest landmark.
The final journey is therefore:
Outer Ring Road/Fedha → Fedha Road → Bristol Park Hospital
Confirm the nearest practical stop with the conductor.
Bristol Park Hospital from Pipeline
Pipeline and Fedha are connected through the Route 33 network.
The journey can broadly be understood as:
Pipeline → Fedha → Fedha Road → Bristol Park Hospital
There is no need to travel into Nairobi CBD.
Bristol Park Hospital from Donholm
Passengers from Donholm can use the Outer Ring Road connection towards Fedha:
Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Bristol Park Hospital
Eastmark Medical Centre Donholm Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Eastmark Medical Centre is located at AL-Hayaad Plaza off Savannah Road, next to Donholm Phase 5 and opposite Harambee Sacco Estate.

For commuters, the useful landmarks are:
Donholm → Savannah Road → Donholm Phase 5 → AL-Hayaad Plaza → Eastmark Medical Centre
Eastmark Medical Centre from Nairobi CBD
Passengers travelling from Nairobi CBD should use a matatu serving Donholm.
Route 34 is one of the important Nairobi–Donholm services.
Metros documents Route 34 as connecting Nairobi with Donholm and Embakasi, with onward connections towards Outer Ring Road.
Route 34 Nairobi to Donholm & Embakasi
Tell the conductor:
“Eastmark Medical Centre, Savannah Road, Donholm Phase 5.”
Using the hospital name together with Savannah Road is more precise than simply asking for Donholm.
Eastmark Medical Centre from Umoja
Umoja passengers can connect towards Donholm without travelling through Nairobi CBD.
The journey is broadly:
Umoja → Donholm → Savannah Road → Eastmark Medical Centre
Route 35/60 forms part of the wider Umoja–Donholm transport network.
Eastmark Medical Centre from Pipeline
Pipeline passengers can use Route 33 connections towards Donholm:
Pipeline → Fedha → Outer Ring Road → Donholm → Savannah Road → Eastmark Medical Centre
Glenfin Donholm Hospital Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Glenfin Donholm Hospital is an operational Level 4 hospital in the Donholm area.
Kenya’s Master Health Facility Registry places the facility near Greenspan Mall and records it as open 24 hours.
For commuters, Greenspan Mall is therefore an important destination landmark.
The basic journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Greenspan area → Glenfin Donholm Hospital
Glenfin Donholm Hospital from Nairobi CBD
Use a Donholm-bound matatu from Nairobi CBD.
Route 34 is one of the main numbered services associated with the Nairobi–Donholm corridor.
Route 34 Nairobi to Donholm & Embakasi
Tell the conductor:
“Glenfin Hospital, Greenspan.”
Glenfin Hospital from Umoja
Passengers travelling from Umoja can use the local Donholm connection:
Umoja → Donholm → Greenspan → Glenfin Hospital
Travelling through Nairobi CBD is unnecessary where a suitable local connection is available.
Glenfin Hospital from Pipeline and Fedha
Passengers from Pipeline or Fedha can approach Donholm through Outer Ring Road:
Pipeline/Fedha → Outer Ring Road → Donholm → Greenspan → Glenfin Hospital
Abrar Health Services Donholm Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Abrar Health Services is a medical facility in Donholm, Nairobi. Its current official information states that the facility operates 24 hours and provides inpatient, emergency and other medical services.
For public transport purposes, passengers should travel towards Donholm and then identify the appropriate local connection.
The broad journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Abrar Health Services
Abrar Health Services from Nairobi CBD
Use a Donholm-bound service.
Route 34 and other Donholm services provide connections from Nairobi CBD.
Before boarding, tell the conductor that your final destination is Abrar Health Services in Donholm and ask for the most convenient local stop.
Abrar Health Services from Umoja
The journey is:
Umoja → Donholm → Abrar Health Services
Passengers should use the local Donholm network rather than travelling into Nairobi CBD.
Abrar Health Services from Fedha or Pipeline
Passengers can connect through Outer Ring Road:
Pipeline/Fedha → Outer Ring Road → Donholm → Abrar Health Services
Missioncare Nursing Home Pipeline Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Missioncare Nursing Home is located in the Pipeline area of Nairobi. The hospital’s current official information identifies Pipeline as its location.
Pipeline is strongly connected to Nairobi CBD through the Route 33 network.
The basic journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline → Missioncare Nursing Home
Missioncare Nursing Home from Nairobi CBD
Passengers can use Route 33 or an appropriate Pipeline-bound service.
Route 33 Nairobi to Embakasi, Fedha & Pipeline
Route 33PM is also associated with Pipeline services within the wider Embakasi network.
Tell the conductor:
“Missioncare Nursing Home, Pipeline.”
Because Pipeline contains numerous local stages, confirm the nearest practical stop before boarding.
Missioncare Nursing Home from Donholm
From Donholm:
Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline → Missioncare Nursing Home
Route 33 provides an important connection through this corridor.
Missioncare Nursing Home from Fedha
The journey from Fedha is comparatively local:
Fedha → Pipeline → Missioncare Nursing Home
There is no reason to travel into Nairobi CBD.
Embakasi Health Centre Transport: Matatu Routes, Stages & Directions
Embakasi Health Centre is an operational public Level 3 comprehensive health centre in Embakasi East.
Kenya’s Master Health Facility Registry places the facility in Embakasi Ward and describes its location as opposite JKIA Airport.
For commuters, the important transport network is therefore different from the Donholm hospitals deeper inside Eastlands.
The journey broadly follows:
Nairobi CBD → Embakasi/Airport corridor → Embakasi Health Centre
Embakasi Health Centre from Nairobi CBD
Passengers should use an appropriate service serving the Embakasi side of the network.
Route 33 and Route 34 both connect Nairobi with different parts of Embakasi, but they should not be treated as identical.
Route 33 serves the wider:
Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline → Embakasi
network.
Route 34 serves the wider Donholm–Embakasi corridor.
Passengers should therefore tell the conductor Embakasi Health Centre and confirm whether the vehicle serves the appropriate side of Embakasi before boarding.
Embakasi Health Centre from Pipeline
The general journey is:
Pipeline → Embakasi connection → Embakasi Health Centre
The exact connection depends on the Route 33 variant being used.
Scion Hospital Embakasi Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Scion Hospital Embakasi is one of Scion Hospital’s Nairobi branches.
The hospital states that it was founded in Embakasi in 2009 along Airport North Road, making Airport North Road the key transport reference for this facility.
The broad journey is:
Nairobi CBD → Eastlands/Embakasi → Airport North Road → Scion Hospital Embakasi
Scion Hospital Embakasi from Nairobi CBD
Passengers should use an Embakasi service that provides the appropriate connection towards Airport North Road.
Route 33 has connections towards the Airport North Road side of the Embakasi network, although individual Route 33 variants differ.
Tell the conductor:
“Scion Hospital, Airport North Road.”
Do not assume every Embakasi vehicle passes the hospital.
Scion Hospital from Fedha
Fedha passengers are already within the wider Embakasi/Outer Ring Road network.
The journey broadly follows:
Fedha → Embakasi/Airport North Road connection → Scion Hospital
Scion Hospital from Pipeline
From Pipeline:
Pipeline → Embakasi/Airport North Road → Scion Hospital
Confirm the appropriate connection before boarding.
Equity Afya Donholm Transport: Matatu Routes & Directions
Equity Afya Donholm is an operational Level 3 medical centre in Donholm.
Kenya’s Master Health Facility Registry places it in Kisumu Ndogo, Donholm, opposite Deliverance Church off Savannah Road.
The transport pattern is:
Nairobi CBD → Donholm → Savannah Road/Kisumu Ndogo → Equity Afya Donholm
Equity Afya Donholm from Nairobi CBD
Use a Donholm-bound matatu and tell the conductor:
“Equity Afya Donholm, Kisumu Ndogo/Savannah Road.”
Route 34 is one of the principal Nairobi–Donholm connections.
Route 34 Nairobi to Donholm & Embakasi
Equity Afya Donholm from Umoja
Passengers from Umoja can connect locally:
Umoja → Donholm → Kisumu Ndogo → Equity Afya
Equity Afya Donholm from Pipeline
From Pipeline:
Pipeline → Fedha → Outer Ring Road → Donholm → Equity Afya
Donholm Hospital Transport Network
Donholm is one of the most important hospital and transport nodes in this cluster.
Facilities around Donholm include:
Eastmark Medical Centre
Glenfin Donholm Hospital
Abrar Health Services
Equity Afya Donholm
The principal public transport relationship from Nairobi CBD is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → local hospital
Route 34 is particularly useful for understanding the Nairobi–Donholm corridor.
Route 34 Nairobi to Donholm & Embakasi
Metros also has a dedicated guide to the wider Donholm network:
Donholm Road Matatu Routes & Public Transport Guide
Fedha Hospital Transport Network
Fedha lies between the Donholm/Outer Ring Road network and Pipeline/Embakasi.
Bristol Park Hospital Fedha is one of the major facilities in this part of the cluster.
The useful transport pattern is:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha
Route 33 is particularly important.
Route 33 Nairobi to Embakasi, Fedha & Pipeline
Passengers should still identify their specific Fedha destination because not every service enters the same parts of the estate.
Pipeline Hospital Transport Network
Pipeline is another important medical and residential destination.
For passengers from Nairobi CBD:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline
Route 33 and Route 33PM are particularly associated with this network.
Passengers travelling specifically to Pipeline should check both the route number and destination displayed on the vehicle.
Metros also documents Pipeline’s connection with Industrial Area:
Pipeline to Industrial Area: Matatu Routes & Connections
Embakasi Hospital Transport Network
Embakasi covers a much larger area than a single estate or stage.
Passengers may be travelling towards:
Embakasi Village | Airport North Road | Fedha | Pipeline | JKIA side | Outer Ring Road
For that reason, saying only “Embakasi” is often insufficient when travelling to a hospital.
Use the specific hospital name and road or landmark.
Routes 33 and 34 are important parts of the wider network:
Route 33 Nairobi to Embakasi, Fedha & Pipeline
Route 34 Nairobi to Donholm & Embakasi
Embakasi Commuter Train Alternative
Passengers should also remember that Embakasi is connected to Nairobi’s commuter railway network.
Metros’ Nairobi Central–Embakasi Village guide documents rail connections serving the wider Embakasi corridor, with onward matatu connections towards Pipeline, Fedha, Donholm, Airport North Road and other destinations.
Nairobi Central to Embakasi Village Commuter Train Route Guide
For some hospital journeys, combining:
Train → local matatu/taxi connection → hospital
may provide an alternative to travelling the entire journey by road.
Passengers should check the current train timetable before relying on this option.
From Nairobi CBD to Embakasi, Donholm, Fedha & Pipeline Hospitals
The easiest way to understand the network is:
For Donholm hospitals:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → hospital
For Fedha hospitals:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → hospital
For Pipeline hospitals:
Nairobi CBD → Jogoo Road → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha → Pipeline → hospital
For Embakasi hospitals:
Nairobi CBD → Donholm/Outer Ring Road or appropriate Embakasi corridor → specific Embakasi destination → hospital
Always select the vehicle according to the hospital’s exact area, not simply the word Embakasi.
From Industrial Area
Industrial Area connects strongly with Donholm through Routes 71 and 72.
Metros documents Route 71 as connecting Nairobi with Industrial Area and Donholm through the Lunga Lunga Road/Likoni Road network.
This creates useful hospital journeys such as:
Industrial Area → Donholm → hospital
or:
Industrial Area → Donholm → Outer Ring Road → Fedha/Pipeline → hospital
Passengers travelling between Pipeline and Industrial Area can use the dedicated Metros guide:
Passengers travelling from Embakasi can also use:
Matatu Fares to Embakasi, Donholm, Fedha & Pipeline Hospitals
Fares depend on:
- Boarding point
- Hospital destination
- Time of day
- Traffic conditions
- Passenger demand
- Weather
- Route and interchange used
A passenger travelling from Nairobi CBD to Donholm will not necessarily pay the same fare as someone continuing to Fedha, Pipeline or deeper into Embakasi.
Fares vary and can change at any time.
Confirm the fare before boarding.
Emergency Hospital Visits
This transport guide is primarily intended for routine appointments, outpatient visits, hospital visitors, staff journeys and other non-critical travel.
For a serious or life-threatening medical emergency, do not delay treatment while looking for a matatu.
Use appropriate emergency medical transport or contact emergency services.
