The Nairobi Hospital has booked space at the upcoming Sh4.3 billion Crystal River mall being developed by Safaricom Pension Fund on 25 acres in Athi River.

The second-floor space is reserved for branded international boutique shops dealing in beverages, restaurants, fashion and jewelry, drugstores and a children’s fair.
Scheme chairman Joseph Ogutu said the project comprising the mall as well as 398 housing units will be ready for occupation in the next five months.
Nairobi Hospital’s chief executive Gordon Odundo said the decision to occupy 10,000 square feet was part of their expansion strategy by making services more accessible.
Mr Odundo said the new facility will have a 24-hour outpatient centre offering pediatric services, accident and emergency, advanced level diagnostic services from laboratory to radiology services with CT scanning, X-ray and Ultrasound as well as a pharmacy.
