Over the decades, Kendu Adventist Hospital has grown remarkably in both size and mission. Evolving from a modest mission clinic into a regional center of medical excellence, it now offers a wide range of services that extend beyond physical treatment to holistic healing. The hospital provides general and specialized surgeries, maternity care, pediatric services, and numerous outpatient and specialized clinics for conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and reproductive health—delivered with a commitment to compassion, dignity, and Adventist values.

In 1948, the establishment of the Kendu Adventist School of Medical Sciences marked a pivotal step toward sustainability. Initially focused on training Nurse Aides (then known as Dressers), it has since expanded to train nurses, clinicians, and laboratory technologists. The school has become a vital part of the hospital’s mission, producing healthcare professionals grounded in both skill and spiritual integrity.

In 1992, Ruby Kraft Adventist Comprehensive School was founded to provide quality Christian education for children of hospital staff. It has grown into a respected institution, blending academic rigor with moral and spiritual development.

Responding to the HIV/AIDS crisis, the hospital launched its Comprehensive Care Center (CCC) in 2005.
