Komarock Modern Healthcare is a fully fledged private hospital that was established in 2004 as a small outpatient clinic. The hospital has since grown from attending 10 patients in a day to over 200 patients a day as of 2022. The hospital currently has a 150 bed capacity in the male and female ward, paediatric ward, new born unit, Maternity, HDU and Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The hospital majorly specialises in obstetrics and gynaecology but they also provide all the other special attendances such as ophthalmology, dermatology, Paediatric, general surgeon, neurosurgeon, orthopaedics surgeon, ENT, Urology and Nutrition.
The hospital was founded by Dr. Salesio Kamwara Nyamu and his wife Harriet Nyamu. Dr. Nyamu is a gynaecologist who serves as the hospital’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) while his wife as the Managing Director (MD).Dr. SK Nyamu had the idea of establishing the hospital while on internship at the Kenyatta hospital. He met one of his lecturers there who told him that his friend runs a pharmacy in Komarock and is looking for a doctor who can do prescriptions. He went there and he was given a dispensing room where he would pay 100 shillings every day.
Nyamu would leave internship at Kenyatta hospital at 5.00pm then head over to see patients at Komarock up to 9.00pm. But then it reached a point where the pharmacy couldn’t be closed since he was seeing patients up to 3.00am. The proprietor of the pharmacy then requested him to get a space somewhere else hence the birth of Komarock Modern Hospital.
The hospital had six beds only. Due to the increase in number of patients, he acquired a building from his friend who was moving from Komarock to South B. With the help of a bank loan, he was able to buy the building at Ksh3.9 million and repaid the loan within one year. He launched the hospital which was a major success and two years later, he acquired land in Utawala where he constructed another branch.
The hospital provides quality and competent medical services for both in-patient and outpatient. It has four branches; two in Nairobi, Utawala and Komarock while the other two in the Mount Kenya region, Tharaka and Chuka.
