In Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) is positioning itself to solve two of Africa’s nagging healthcare challenges: brain drain and medical tourism. Located in Parklands, the expansive hospital complex —comprising a tertiary-care facility, a medical university and a research centre — has become a focal point of specialised healthcare delivery in East Africa. According to AKUH Chief Executive Officer, Rashid Khalani, the institution was deliberately designed to serve not only Kenya, but the wider African continent. “Our vision is to become a premier tertiary teaching hospital with a regional network capable of serving sub-Saharan Africa,” Khalani says. “We believe in international-level quality and everything we do is guided by evidence-based medicine.”
