The Nairobi Hospital sank into a Sh2.21 billion loss for the financial year ending December 2024, weighed down by prolonged boardroom wrangles that led to payouts for bungled projects, unfair dismissal claims, legal fees and the write-off of abandoned buildings.

The losses stem largely from expenses tied to arbitration claims, court awards, project suspensions and asset impairments linked to decisions taken in the wake of prolonged board wrangles, which appear far from over.
