The JKUAT Comprehensive Care Centre was established in 2002 and was initially based at the JKUAT hospital. It initially catered for HIV/AIDS and TB services but has expanded as a result of the synergy between the JKUAT Hospital and ITROMID through its partner ICAP/CHS. The centre has since moved to its own establishment at the ITROMID department.
The Comprehensive Care Centre now consists of the following client health service sections:
- Clinical section
- Counseling/nursing section
- Laboratory section
- Nutrition section
- Pharmacy section
These sections now service and empower the entire JKUAT/Juja community under the directive of the director, ITROMID and Chief Medical Officer, JKUAT hospital.
