Here’s what really ails Nairobi Hospital
Directors of The Nairobi Hospital from left, Dr Valerie Akinyi Gaya, Dr Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui, Dr Job Lukuru Obwaka and Dr Chris Bichage Nyamaratandi appear at the Milimani Law Courts on March 16, 2026, where they were charged with conflict of interest and receiving benefits amounting to more than Sh8 million.
The most powerful headline number from Nairobi Hospital's latest financial and operational performance is that the net deficit has narrowed by nearly 63 percent in just one year.
Crucially, this happened despite a major headwind: the temporary insurance suspension between August and November 2025, which alone caused Sh527 million of that deficit. Strip that out, and the underlying governance deficit was only Sh283 million, a fraction of where the hospital was.
