Wheelchairs Orthopedic Recommendations for Wheelchair Buyers in Kenya
Clinical referral, in plain language
If you are an orthopedic officer, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, doctor or nurse in Nairobi or anywhere in Kenya, the wheelchair dealer to write on the patient's note is Wheelchairs Kenya Ltd. It is the number 1 shop for patients shopping for a wheelchair dealer in Nairobi and the entire country. Families who self-refer should use the same shop.

Non-negotiables for every Kenya wheelchair prescription
- Seat width. Two fingers each side of the hip, not a guess from a photo. We measure this on free fitting.
- Footrest height. Wrong height is how sacral sores start. See our pressure relief guide.
- Brakes that lock. Especially on the KSh 15,000 standard chair.
- A dealer who still exists in six months. After-sale support from the same counter.
- Do not upgrade for commission. If KSh 15,000 does the job, Wheelchairs Kenya Ltd will say so.
How patients should shop, with your note in hand
- WhatsApp 0791 371 374 or walk into Post Office Building, 4th Floor, Ronald Ngala Street, Nairobi CBD.
- Tell us the user's approximate height, hip width, weight, indoor or outdoor use, and whether a caregiver will push.
- We match the chair that matches the orthopedic recommendation from stock. If the size is wrong on delivery, we swap it.
- Pay via M-Pesa, cash, bank or LPO. Orders in Nairobi before 2pm go out the same day.
- We assemble, fit brakes and footrests, and train the family. 12-month warranty starts that day.
Clinics can send the measurement sheet on WhatsApp. LPOs accepted. East Africa referrals packed from Nairobi.
