Medical Equipment Supplier in Mombasa

Buying medical equipment in Mombasa: the honest answer

Jodroc has one office, on Tom Mboya Street in Nairobi, and no branch on the Coast. Every order for Mombasa, Kilifi, Malindi, Lamu or Kwale is picked, checked and dispatched from that same Nairobi store, not from a local depot, so the fastest honest answer to "where do I buy medical equipment in Mombasa" is: from Nairobi, by overnight courier or SGR freight, usually inside two working days.

What is real about serving the Coast from Nairobi is the catalogue and the certification: all ten equipment categories and the published consumables pricing apply to a Mombasa order exactly as they would to a Nairobi one, with the same CE marking and import documentation sent before payment is due, not produced after a complaint.

Jodroc also runs a free equipment audit for facilities that already own equipment it did not supply. For a Coast facility this starts over WhatsApp or a call rather than a site visit, photographs and service history first, with a technician travelling out only where a fault genuinely needs hands on the machine.

Medical and dental equipment, by category

Each of the ten categories below carries the same CE marking and ISO 13485 manufacturing certificates regardless of which coast it ships to, with documentation sent before payment is due.

Dental chairs, periapical and OPG X-ray units, benchtop and floor-standing autoclaves cover the operatory; microscopes, haematology and biochemistry analysers cover a laboratory bench. A fuller account of what a facility actually needs, room by room, is in the clinic equipment guide.

Delivery and freight to Mombasa

Consumables and small equipment dispatched from Nairobi reach Mombasa within one working day by overnight road courier. Dental chairs, autoclaves and other floor-standing equipment take two working days, since freight handling and careful offloading of a heavier crate is not something to rush on a single overnight run.

SGR freight is available as an alternative for bulk consignments, which is usually the cheaper option once an order runs to several crates rather than one or two boxes. Freight cost is quoted separately from the equipment price on every order, Coast or otherwise.

Kilifi, Malindi, Lamu and Kwale are all served beyond Mombasa Island and the mainland, typically adding one to two days to the courier route depending on which town the delivery is headed to.

Consumables by the box or the carton

Jodroc stocks CE-certified consumables for dispatch alongside equipment orders or on a standalone monthly restocking schedule, with published box and carton pricing rather than a quote-on-request page.

Nitrile, latex and vinyl examination gloves run from KES 420 a box of 100 to KES 6,300 a carton of ten boxes, and syringes and needles from around KES 320 to KES 980 a box, the same published pricing that applies in Nairobi. Carton orders for Mombasa travel on the same courier as equipment, so a standing monthly restock does not need a separate freight arrangement.

A Coast-specific note: storage and humidity

Coastal humidity is a facilities question worth planning for separately from the equipment order itself. An autoclave, an analyser or a patient monitor stored in an un-air-conditioned room on the Coast corrodes and fails faster than the same unit would in Nairobi's drier climate, which is why Jodroc recommends a dry, ventilated storage area as standard advice to Mombasa clients rather than something a warranty or a courier can fix after the fact.

Service and support from the Nairobi workshop

Jodroc's workshop and spare parts store are both in Nairobi. For a straightforward fault, photographs and a WhatsApp call with a Mombasa clinic's own staff often diagnose the problem without a site visit, and a replacement part or loan unit travels down by the same courier used for delivery. This covers equipment Jodroc did not originally sell as well as equipment it did; the full list of services runs to ten, from installation and commissioning through to relocation and decommissioning.
