About Us

Care rooted in the healing ministry of the Catholic Diocese of Meru

Vision, mission and values of the hospital

A faith-based hospital serving Chuka and Tharaka-Nithi County

Consolata Cottage Hospital is situated in Chuka town — about 200 metres from the main stage along the Kaanwa highway, opposite Chuka Boarding Primary School and St Joseph Catholic Church.

The hospital combines outpatient and inpatient services with the pastoral character of its founding mission: staff are trained clinicians first, but the hospital's identity is one of consolation as much as cure.

  • NHIF-accredited — covered under national schemes, with fee-for-service also available.
  • Outpatient services including Mother & Child Health and a Comprehensive Care Clinic.
  • Inpatient wards, maternity & nursery, and a surgical theatre.
