A private investor plans to set up a Sh6.8 billion hospital in Kiambu County with a capacity of 300 beds, joining a chain of entrepreneurs establishing medicare facilities with their eyes on opportunities in the rapidly expanding private health sector in the country.
The investor, Ruth Wanjiku Gakunju, has already received approvals from the Kiambu County government to convert a parcel of land on which the hospital would be built from residential to public-use.
