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]
Overview
The WTCH is a private for-profit hospital with planned capacity of 150 inpatient beds. The hospital is intended to cater to healthcare needs of the growing middle class in the city of Nairobi, the capital of Kenya.[1]
Location
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]
