World Trade Centre Hospital (WTCH), is a planned private medical facility in Kenya. The owners of this medical facility are members of the family of Suresh Bhagwanji Raja Shah, the founder of I&M Holdings Limited, a financial services conglomerate based in Kenya, with subsidiaries in Kenya, Mauritius, Tanzania, Rwanda, Uganda and an office in the United Kingdom.[1]

The hospital will occupy 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) in Nairobi Business Park, on Ngong Road, adjacent to Ngong Race Course and Golf Park, in the western suburbs of Nairobi City.[1] This is approximately 11 kilometres (7 mi) west of the city's central business district.[2]

Developments

In January 2023, MTZ Holdings purchased Nairobi Business Park, measuring 16 acres (6.5 ha) at an undisclosed sum estimated to be more than KSh2 billion (approx. US$16.2 million), at that time.[4][5] In September 2023, the Business Daily Africa reported that MTZ Holdings planned to build a 150-bed "multispecialty hospital" on 2.5 acres of the site.[1]

The planned hospital comprises two basement floors and six floors above ground for a total of eight floors. The construction of the hospital is budgeted at KSh3.24 billion (approx. US$22.1 million).[1]
