Welcome to Embulbul Catholic Dispensary!

Embulbul Catholic Dispensary (ECD) belongs to the Catholic Diocese of Ngong. The Dispensary activities were begun on the 1st of November 1999 by the Capuchin Sisters of Mother Rubatto.

The service was aimed at providing health care at an affordable cost to the local people mainly the poor. It was and still remains a physical and emotional service to the poor, the suffering, and those infected and affected by varied ailments, among them, HIV/AIDS.

It was and still is an invitation as extended by Jesus,

“Come to me all you who labor and are heavily laden, and I shall give you rest. (Mt 11:28) ”

OUR HISTORY 

In the beginning, the Dispensary operated as a mobile clinic and included home visits. Those involved met every morning of the working week at the Embulbul Catholic Church premises, from where they packed drugs and other necessities into the back of a saloon car. They then moved to the interiors of Embulbul village, Kerarapon, NkaiMurunya, and Olepolos to minister to the needy.

On 8th April 2001, the present dispensary was opened by the then Vice President, Hon. G. Saitoti, M.P in the presence of Our Lordship Rev Colin Davies (the then Bishop of Ngong), Fr Patrick Divine, (the then superior of the SMA fathers) and Sr Emanuela, (the then regional superior of the Capuchin Sisters). Since then the dispensary has expanded the services offered to the people of Embulbul. This was a dream come true and we thank God for this provision. Our hope is that the Dispensary continues giving services to God’s people regardless of their social status, race or religious affiliation.

Originally patients were sent to St. Odilias for laboratory services. But as the number of patients increased we felt the need for our own Laboratory, and in March 2001, laboratory services were started at our dispensary. In addition, MCH services were also started in June 2001. The present dental clinic was started on the 2 nd January 2002 by the Italian dentists with a donation of dental equipment from APA-ITALY supplemented by CHEKA project from Ireland while the VCT clinic was started in 2004 with support from the Government through NASCOP.
