Asian healthcare giant opens facility in Kenya

NAIROBI, KENYA: Columbia Asia, one of the largest and fastest-growing healthcare companies in Asia, is expanding its operations to Africa to serve the rising demand from the continent’s middle class for affordable, modern and efficient healthcare facilities.

The company’s first facility in Africa – a 5,300-square-foot multispecialty clinic and diagnostic center – opened this week in Nairobi, Kenya, a capital city with more than three million people and in the midst of a surge in foreign direct investment.  The clinic is operating under a new brand, Columbia Africa.
