In 1981, while still practicing as a nurse, Ngugi presented a paper about the emerging, new role of nurses in the Kenyan health system. She emphasized the role of nurses in not only caring for the patient but engaging with and caring for the patient's family members.

Elizabeth Ngugi was involved in research that examined the efficacy of a contraceptive sponge in preventing HIV infection among Nairobi sex workers. The study found that the sponge was not effective in reducing infection.
