Which sizes are in stock?

Most sets run from XXS to 7XL. That covers small frames, tall frames and plus sizes. Scrub tops and trousers in a set share one size, so you choose one size for the whole set.

How to measure yourself in two minutes

You need a tape measure and a friend if possible.

• Chest: measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms • Waist: measure around your natural waist, just above the belly button • Hips: measure around the widest part of your hips • Height: stand against a wall without shoes

Write the numbers down in centimetres. Send them with your usual dress or shirt size on WhatsApp.

How should scrubs fit?

Scrubs should feel easy, not tight and not baggy.

• You can lift your arms above your head without the top riding up • You can squat to a low bed without the trousers pulling • The trousers sit just above your shoes, not on the floor • The sleeves stop above the elbow so you can wash your hands properly

If you sit between two sizes, most people go up one size. Scrubs are washed often and a little room helps on a twelve hour shift.

What if the size is wrong?

Message Scrubs Kenya on WhatsApp as soon as your order arrives. Keep the scrubs unworn and unwashed with the tags on. Ask what can be done for your order.

Buying for a team?

Ask each person for their size, or their chest and height. Send the list on WhatsApp. Scrubs Kenya will match the sizes and confirm stock for every person before you pay.

Questions people ask

Does Scrubs Kenya have plus size scrubs?

Yes. Most sets go up to 7XL.

Do scrubs shrink?

Cotton rich fabric can shrink a little in a hot wash. Wash in cool or warm water to keep the fit.

Can I get the top and trousers in different sizes?

Ask on WhatsApp before you order. Scrubs Kenya will tell you what is possible for the set you like.

Meet the founder

Dr Joanne Medina

Founder, Scrubs Kenya

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.
