Nairobi's healthcare demand is shaped by several factors. Rapid urbanization, a growing middle class with higher disposable incomes, and an increasing burden of non-communicable diseases are key drivers. While public hospitals serve a large segment, there is a growing demand for private, specialized, and high-quality care. Our assessment meticulously quanties this demand, segmenting it by service type (e.g., cardiology, oncology, maternity) and patient demographics. This granular understanding is vital for planning the right kind of hospital infrastructure.
