Who we are

Kenya's dedicated community of paediatric surgeons

Kenya Association of Paediatric Surgeons (KAPS) was officially registered in 1992 as a Kenyan professional organisation dedicated to paediatric surgery. We are committed to excellence in evidence-based care and developing standards and guidelines that influence public policy.

We have held free surgical camps annually in different counties, reducing pain and suffering in children who cannot access paediatric surgical services, in line with the 8th Millennium Development Goal.
