The Nairobi Hospital has unveiled plans to set up five medical centers across Kenya in order to enhance healthcare accessibility, as confirmed by the US government. The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) has granted the Kenya Hospital Association (KHA), the organization that owns the hospital, funds for a feasibility study. The study aims to support KHA’s objective of establishing five medical centers throughout the country, implementing digital operations, and expanding cancer treatment services at The Nairobi Hospital.
The USTDA, however, did not disclose the exact value of the grant or the locations of the proposed new branches. Currently, KHA operates The Nairobi Hospital and six outpatient centers, providing medical care to over 96,000 patients annually.
The feasibility study facilitated by the USTDA will encompass a market assessment and design recommendations for the new medical centers. It will also suggest strategies for acquiring and installing advanced oncology equipment, as well as conducting technical analysis to upgrade and integrate existing information technology systems.
Enoh T Ebong, the director of USTDA, expressed the importance of investing in healthcare infrastructure for Kenya’s prosperity. She highlighted the partnership with the Kenya Hospital Association as an opportunity to improve access to high-quality healthcare for underserved individuals. Moreover, she emphasized that this engagement would create opportunities for US companies to contribute cutting-edge solutions to Kenya’s healthcare priorities.
Meg Whitman, the US Ambassador to Kenya, emphasized the significance of international cooperation in expanding healthcare access, particularly in the context of cancer treatment. She acknowledged that the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for collaboration at the highest levels.
James Nyamongo, CEO of The Nairobi Hospital, expressed excitement about the partnership with the US Trade and Development Agency and its potential to enhance healthcare services in the country. Nyamongo believes that this collaboration will be a significant step towards improving access to quality healthcare and promoting innovative solutions for emerging healthcare challenges in the region.
