Nairobi Hospital reconstitutes board as Onyambu retains chairmanship

Onyambu was re-elected chairman during the AGM, providing continuity at the top of the organisation after a turbulent period marked by competing claims over the legitimacy of the hospital’s leadership.

The Kenya Hospital Association (KHA) has reconstituted the Board of Management at The Nairobi Hospital, with Dr Barcley Onyambu retaining the chairmanship. The hospital's ownership is unique, being a membership-based organisation rather than a conventional private hospital with shareholders. The recent changes come after months of governance disputes that have placed the institution under scrutiny.

The new 11-member Board of Management includes Samson Mbuthia Kinyanjui as vice chairman, Agnes Gachoki as chairperson of the Medical Advisory Committee, and Edwin Rono as vice chairman of the Medical Advisory Committee. The reconstitution of the board follows the successful conclusion of the KHA Annual General Meeting held on August 25.
