Quick answer: Hospice units lean toward electric beds at KSh 120,000 because positioning changes are frequent and staff are stretched, paired with ripple mattresses at KSh 6,000. Replacement speed matters as much as price, and Nairobi stock moves the same day.
Why electric earns its place here
A palliative patient may be repositioned many times in a shift for comfort and breathing. A handset makes that quiet and quick, at night as well as during the day. That is a different calculation from a general ward, where manual beds are often the better buy.
Supporting home-based hospice care
Hospice teams in Kenya do a lot of care in patients' homes. We deliver and assemble directly to the family address on the team's instruction, with the caregiver trained before we leave. See palliative care at home.
Keeping a spare bed
Hospice units that hold one spare bed avoid the scramble when a frame goes down mid-week. Given how quickly a bed is needed in this setting, a spare is cheaper than the disruption. We hold Nairobi stock and can usually replace the same day, but a unit outside Nairobi should plan for its own buffer.
