About Us

The current  Department of Human Pathology  was initially constituted as a Department of Pathology and Microbiology in 1967 to service the then newly established medical school within the University College  Nairobi. The University college Nairobi  was at that time   a constituent college of the University of East Africa. The Department was started through international collaboration with The Royal Infirmary Glasgow Medical School, UK.   Microbiology later separated from Pathology in the 1975 -1979 period  to become the present Department of Medical Microbiology.
