Some 25 years ago, a noble idea between a catholic priest and nuns sprung up after a team they had sent to a hospital in Tigoni, Kiambu county, ruled out a possibility of a takeover.
The Consolata sisters had implored their colleagues Assumption Sisters of Nairobi (ASN) to run Nazareth Hospital but the team that had been sent there felt that Kiambu people are rich, and therefore could not fulfill the nun's aim of treating the poor.
It is out of this that St Mary's Hospital came about.
