Nairobi, Kenya - In a press briefing held on March 19th, 2026, The Nairobi Hospital's leadership dispelled rumors of institutional collapse, showcasing instead a narrative of resilience and recovery. The hospital's financial and operational data paints a picture of a thriving healthcare institution, contradicting claims of distress.

According to CEO Felix Osano, the hospital's revenues stood at KES 12.8 billion in 2024 and KES 11.8 billion in 2025, with a notable recovery in early 2026. "Our monthly revenues have stabilized at approximately KES 1.03 billion, with year-to-date revenue growing by 8% compared to the same period last year," Osano said.

Operational indicators also reflect the hospital's strength, with admissions up by 5%, oncology services growing by over 100%, and bed occupancy improving to approximately 59-63%. These numbers demonstrate The Nairobi Hospital's commitment to providing quality healthcare services to its patients.

Chairman of the Board, Dr. Barcley Onyambu, emphasized that the hospital is stable and operational, attributing the controversy to a governance matter being mischaracterized as institutional failure. "The Nairobi Hospital is not facing a capability problem; it is facing a communication challenge," he said.

Despite challenges, the hospital remains committed to transparency, unity of purpose, and the highest standards of patient care. The leadership reaffirmed their dedication to protecting the institution's integrity and ensuring its continued contribution to Kenya's healthcare system.

The Nairobi Hospital's story is one of perseverance and dedication to excellence, serving as a beacon of hope for healthcare institutions across the region
