Amid the festivities, a piece of news in the dailies may have passed many with interest in the health sector: private player, Metropolitan Health Services was inducted into the Nairobi Securities Exchange’s (NSE's) Ibuka segment. Ibuka, (Kiswahili for emerging) is an incubation sandbox geared towards accelerating the number of businesses listing on the NSE, which has undergone a lengthy drought.
The event in itself, is important for two reasons: one, it is the first time that a mainstream health enterprise will feature on NSE, if the deal does go through. And two, it will be notable if the player intends to follow through with a listing.
