Welcome to Metropolitan Hospital Website
Metropolitan Hospital was started in July 1994. Despite teething problems of young hospitals has proved to be the best and most efficient health unit in Eastlands and hospital of its size. Our mission statement is to provide quality, cost effective health care. It is the most comprehensively equipped medical institution in Eastlands. The hospital was started by a group of eight professionals, the majority of them being doctors.The prime mover of the project was Dr. K.K. Gakombe, who doubles as the Chief Executive Officer
Most of these other doctors have moved on with their careers and serving in various capacities; Dr. Millicent Kariuki is now a consultant eye surgeon, Dr. Gichuhi is a consultant Gynaecologist, Dr. Okumu is a heart surgeon.
The main shareholder then was Mr. Ancrum Evans, a British investor who first came to Kenya in 1943. He has moved on to sell most of his shares to the locals in order to achieve his original vision of owning a minority share, thus not having a controlling share.
