Start with your services
List your intended services, expected daily attendance, consultation rooms and operating hours. Separate opening-day equipment from later expansion. Include child-sized equipment if you will care for children, and plan access for people with reduced mobility.
Confirm room layout, reliable water, hand hygiene facilities, power capacity, secure storage, waste arrangements and a maintenance plan before purchasing. Equipment must fit the space and be usable by trained staff.
A checklist by area of care
These examples should be reviewed against your service scope. Quantities and specifications should follow your workload and clinical plan.
01 · Consultation and examination
- Examination couch, appropriate patient steps and privacy screen
- Clinician's stool, desk, chairs and examination light
- Stethoscope, blood pressure monitor with suitable cuff sizes and thermometer
- Adult weighing scale; infant or child scales and height measures where relevant
- Pulse oximeter and examination tools suited to your services
02 · Treatment and procedures
- Procedure couch or trolley, instrument trolley and secure storage
- Procedure-specific instruments and compatible consumables
- Dressing materials, syringes, needles and sharps containers as required
- Task lighting and a suitable cleaning or reprocessing workflow
Reusable instruments require a validated reprocessing process. A small steriliser alone does not establish an adequate workflow.

- Hand hygiene supplies and PPE selected for tasks and risks
- Cleaning materials compatible with surfaces and equipment

- Appropriate oxygen source, regulator, delivery accessories and monitoring where indicated
- Suction and resuscitation equipment where trained staff can use it
- Organised emergency storage, readiness checks and a referral plan
Confirm the complete oxygen system, compatible components, maintenance and safe storage.
Explore medical equipment →05 · Laboratory and diagnostics
- Instruments needed for approved tests and trained staff
- Compatible reagents, controls, consumables and quality assurance arrangements
- Suitable bench space, sample handling and electrical supply
- Temperature-controlled storage and monitoring where required

Build my clinic quotation →Common planning questions
How much does it cost to equip a clinic in Kenya?
The total depends on services, rooms, equipment, tests offered, emergency readiness, installation and recurring consumables. Start with a prioritised list and request an itemised quotation.
Is this a complete licensing checklist?
No. Requirements depend on the facility and services. Confirm current licensing, infrastructure and professional requirements with the relevant authorities before committing to a set-up.
Can I send my own supply list?
Yes. Open the quotation desk to upload your list and add contact details, quantities and delivery location.
Should I buy everything at once?
Prioritise equipment needed for your approved opening services. Agree later phases with your clinical lead, without deferring essential safety or readiness requirements.
