What nurses add to their starter kit

The three set rule

One on, one in the wash, one ready. That is why most kits have three sets.

How to order your kit

Choose your sets. Send your size and shoe size, then add your name. Scrubs Kenya sends one total with delivery.

A kit as a gift

Families often buy the kit for a new graduate. Ask for it gift wrapped with a card.

Why teams order from Scrubs Kenya

Sizes run from XXS to 7XL, so nobody on the team is left out.

Names, titles and logos can be embroidered on every piece, from about KES 200 per item.

Kenyan made sets keep the budget low. Brands such as Cherokee and Landau are there when the brief asks for more.

Founded by Dr Joanne Medina, a medical doctor, so the fit and pockets are chosen for real shifts.

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.
