National carrier Kenya Airways (KQ) has partnered with Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) to boost medical tourism across Africa, in a move that seeks to position Kenya as a leading destination for quality healthcare on the continent. The collaboration, signed through Kenya Airways’ healthcare arm KQ Health, brings together the airline’s regional network and AKUH’s advanced medical capabilities to offer a seamless experience for patients travelling to Kenya for specialised treatment. Under the agreement, KQ Health will handle all logistical arrangements including medical clearances before travel, in-flight medical assistance, and direct ambulance transfers from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to AKUH. AKUH CEO Rashid Khalani said the partnership represents a major milestone for Kenya’s healthcare sector and for Africa at large. “This partnership is about showcasing that world-class healthcare can be accessed right here in Africa,” he said.
