Doctor Jobs in Nairobi

Your girlfriend will require a work permit and will also need to be registered with the Kenya Medical Practitioners & Dentists Board.  I understand that this will involve her needing to do a years internship at a public hospital, before being able to practice, but she will need a work permit to enable her to do the internship. 

Unlike the UK, Kenyan public health facilities are limited and the best hospitals are private and Nairobi based (such as Aga Khan, MP Shah, Nairobi Hospital).  Public hospitals are found in most urban centres, but they tend to be less well equipped.  Kenyatta Hospital is the largest public hospital and is based in Nairobi. 

Many doctors are in private practice, with their bases being in clinics or the 'Doctors Plaza'.  The same doctors work flexibly with a number of hospitals.

It used to be possible to do your internship alongside running your own practice, but things have tightened up.

There may also be scope for obtaining a temporary licence (valid for a year):

Incidentally; as you are in a relationship, rather than marriage, your girlfriend's status in Kenya will be independent of yours.
