Cheap vs branded scrubs: is it worth paying more?
Quick answer: Kenyan made sets from about KES 2,200 are tough and fine for most wards. Paying about KES 3,200 to KES 4,000 gets softer stretch fabric that moves more. Brands such as Cherokee sit at the top for fit and finish.

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.
