With its excellent air connectivity, liberal visa regime, political stability, and growing healthcare capacity, Kenya is poised to become the continent’s medical hub in line with Vision 2030, which identifies healthcare excellence and innovation as key national priorities.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Africans travel thousands of miles away to India, the Middle East, or Europe in search of medical care.
