You must have noticed that every corner block in most estates and even Nairobi’s Central Business District either has a chemist or a clinic.
The Tom Mboya stretch from Ambassadeur Hotel in the CBD to Haile Selassie has 18 such outlets comprising opticians, diagnostics and pharmacies.
The same is the case in city estates. The 10-metre walk between Biafra estate and Jehovah Witness Church in Eastleigh Section III, for instance, has 15 medical related outlets, including five hospitals – two of which opened shop in 2020.
