Equity Afia (EQA), established in 2015 under the Equity Group Foundation’s (EGF) health pillar has opened two medical centres in Kisii and Matuu (Machakos).
With the opening of the centres, at least 1.3 million Kenyans will enjoy access to quality and affordable healthcare services.
Strategically located in Matuu at Al Plaza along KC Road and in Kisii at Ouru Complex along the Kisii- Kisumu Highway, the two medical centres enter the respective markets to complement medical services offered by other private healthcare service providers, mission facilities and government healthcare centres.
With the opening of the two new medical centres, Equity Afia now has a national network of 35 medical centres distributed across 13 counties including Machakos, Kisii, Muranga, Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, Mombasa, Meru, Kakamega, Nakuru, Nyeri, Kisumu and Trans Nzoia.
