Scrubs for hospitals, clinics and pharmacies in Kenya

Scrubs are meant to be simple: a top, a trouser, comfortable to move in and easy to wash. But a facility that buys scrubs for forty or four hundred staff has to think about more than that. Colour coding, fit, fabric weight, pockets and the placement of the facility name all affect how staff work and how patients see them.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based manufacturer. We make scrub suits and lab coats in-house, and you can visit our shop in Kasarani, Nairobi to see fabrics, check colours in natural light and feel the weight before deciding. For clinic owners in Nairobi and managers upcountry searching for custom scrubs in Kenya, that saves guesswork and returns.

Choosing scrub colours by department

Colour coding is one of the easiest ways to help patients and visitors identify staff. A common arrangement looks like this, but your facility can pick any scheme.

DepartmentCommon colour choiceWhy it works
NursingCeil blue, teal or navyCalm and familiar to patients
Theatre and surgeryGreen or blueReduces eye strain under bright lights
LaboratoryWhite coat over scrubs, or grey and maroonSeparates lab staff from ward staff
Reception and adminBranded polo or tunicDistinct from clinical staff, see branded polo shirts
PaediatricsBrighter shades or printed fabricsLess intimidating for children
PharmacyWhite dust coat or pastel scrubClean and professional; see dust coats

Fabric, fit and pockets: the details that matter

A common mistake is ordering one generic size range for everyone. Get actual measurements for chest and hips where possible, and order additional stock in the mid-size range.

Facility name embroidery and staff names

Embroidering the facility name or logo on the chest of each top builds a professional image and helps staff be identified. You can add the person's name and title on the opposite side. Embroidery is more durable than printing under heavy washing, which is why we recommend it for scrubs. Digitising is a one-time setup, and the logo file is stored for future orders. Details are on our embroidery page.

Standard bulk embroidery is ready 5-7 working days after artwork approval. We can separate packing by ward or by department when requested.

Looking after scrubs so they last

Wash scrubs inside out, avoid bleach on coloured fabric and do not overload the machine. Rotate at least two or three sets per person so no single set wears out first. Clinics that launder centrally should tell us so we can suggest hard-wearing seams and colourfast fabric.

Medical scrubs: common questions

Q

Can you make scrubs in a custom colour for our clinic?

Yes. Send a sample garment or colour reference and we will match the fabric as closely as the material allows.

Q

Do you make maternity or plus-size scrubs?

We cut a wide size range; tell us your measurements and the style you need and we will confirm what is possible.

Q

Can doctors and nurses have their names embroidered?

Yes. Send a list of names and titles, and each will be embroidered on the chosen garment.

Q

Do you supply to pharmacies and small clinics?

Yes. Small clinics and pharmacies are welcome, and quantity-based rates apply as orders grow.

Q

What is the difference between a lab coat and a dust coat?

A lab coat is a longer, clinical-style coat for laboratories and doctors; a dust coat is a lighter layer for retail and service staff. We make both.
