On August 14, 2019, Equity Afia marked a significant milestone in its mission to increase access to quality and affordable healthcare services in Kenya with the launch of two new clinics in Ruiru and Nyeri.
Equity Afia's sixth and seventh clinics are part of a sustainable, integrated health model that oversees a network of clinical entrepreneurs providing standardized, quality healthcare throughout the country.
Speaking at the launch ceremony in Ruiru, Equity Bank Kenya Chairman Prof. Isaac Macharia emphasized the importance of NHIF accreditation, stating that all Equity Afia facilities are accredited, facilitating further access to quality medical services for the majority of Kenyans.
“The clinics will not only provide curative care, but they will be heavily involved in preventative healthcare,” he added.
Equity Group Foundation Executive Director, Mr. Reuben Mbindu, highlighted the clinics' focus on community well-being, saying, “Our aim is to extend affordable medical services to all, without people having to dig deeper into their pockets.”
Equity Afia has operational clinics in Ongata Rongai, Thika, Buruburu, Kayole, and Kawangware, offering comprehensive outpatient care for the whole family, including consultation by doctors, a wide range of outpatient procedures, modern laboratories, and well-stocked in-house pharmacies.
