Consultant Paediatrician (Nairobi, Kenya)
Zuri Health
About This Role
Zuri Health is looking for a consultant paediatrician to relocate to Nairobi and make Zuri the first choice for children's care.
You will run consultant paediatric sessions across Zuri's embedded clinics, including Saturday family rounds; take over newborn and child follow-up from the Petals maternity journey (well-baby reviews, growth monitoring, immunisation); provide Medic at Home visits and remote reviews for sick children; act as escalation consultant for paediatric cases on telemedicine; and write the triage, referral and prescribing SOPs the doctors and clinical officers follow. You will also support child health days and school and employer family programmes, and coordinate admissions through Zuri's partner facilities.
Engagement: sessional, a fixed number of sessions a week including Saturday rounds. Reports to the Chief Medical Officer.
How Zuri works: patients who come to you through Zuri are Zuri patients and their care is billed through Zuri, including at partner facilities. Any private practice you already have stays yours. Every encounter is documented in the Zuri system the same working day, and Zuri runs a published duty rota.
This search is run by Consult For Africa on behalf of Zuri Health. Apply through the short screening form on this page.
