The best scrubs in Kenya: which set suits your shift?
Ever bought scrubs that looked great online and faded after five washes? You are not alone.
There is no single best set for everyone. A theatre nurse, a busy intern and a student on a budget need different things. This guide compares the brands Scrubs Kenya stocks by what matters on a real shift: comfort, size range, colour choice and price. Live prices sit in the table below.
Prices on this page start from KES 1,500. Every price comes live from the Scrubs Kenya shop.

Best for stretch and comfort: imported sets
Andys, Cross Ace, Luna Ace and Noahs are imported stretch sets made for long shifts. They move with you when you bend over a bed or reach across a theatre table.
They also come in the most colours, from navy and black to wine, teal, lilac and pastel shades. Pick one of these if comfort and colour choice come first.
Best known brand: Cherokee
Cherokee is the name most nurses and doctors in Kenya already know. Cherokee Workwear is the classic everyday set and one of the lowest priced sets in the shop. Cherokee Infinity is the premium stretch line.
See the Cherokee scrubs page for both lines side by side.
Best for every body: Made in Africa sets
Medina Sets, Ankara Sets and Nurse Sets are made in Africa and run in the widest size range in the shop, up to 7XL in many styles.
Want to stand out on the ward? Ankara Sets bring bright African print to your uniform. Medina Sets carry the name of the founder, Dr Joanne Medina.
Best on a budget: Landau, Scrubstar and Cherokee Workwear
Landau, Scrubstar and Cherokee Workwear are made for export and priced for students and new graduates. They are a smart first set or a spare for the rotation.
Need a pop of colour without a full set? Patterned scrub tops pair with plain pants you already own.
How to choose in three questions
What does your hospital allow? Check the colour and style rule first.
How long are your shifts? Twelve hour shifts call for stretch fabric and deep pockets.
How many sets do you need? Most people rotate two or three sets between washes. Still unsure? Send your size and role on WhatsApp and Scrubs Kenya will suggest a set.

Ever been told there are no surgical caps left on a busy ward? Dr Joanne Medina was, as a final year medical student. So she started making her own.
That small fix grew into Scrubs Kenya. Today Scrubs Kenya dresses nurses, doctors, clinical officers and students across Kenya.
Dr Joanne is a medical doctor who trained at Egerton University. She grew up in Kitale and now lives and works in Nairobi. She knows how a twelve hour shift feels, so every Scrubs Kenya set is chosen for comfort, pockets and fabric that lasts.
She also hosts the Medina Dinner, a networking evening for healthcare professionals, and interviews leaders in Kenyan healthcare on her YouTube channel.
