"The hospital remains fully dedicated to delivering accessible, high-quality healthcare. Over the past year, we have strengthened our outreach efforts through constructive dialogues with partners--advancing our collective goal of achieving Universal Health Coverage," said Mr. Osano.
Kenya Hospital Association (KHA) Board Chair, Dr. Barcley Onyambu, echoed these sentiments, emphasizing that employee wellbeing is central to institutional sustainability and national progress.
"We are guided by one central principle--People First. Excellence is only achieved when the wellbeing and engagement of our people are prioritized," said Dr. Onyambu. "Our partnerships must continue evolving to address emerging health issues and align with regional healthcare trends."
The meeting highlighted how HR leaders increasingly view wellness as integral to employer branding, workforce stability, and business performance--underscoring their role as architects of human sustainability and high-performing organizational cultures.
Globally, wellness has transitioned from an employee benefit to a strategic imperative. The World Health Organization (WHO) targets a one-third reduction in mental health cases under SDG 3 by 2030, while the International Labour Organization (ILO) identifies mental wellbeing as a key driver of productivity.
For decades, The Nairobi Hospital has maintained its leadership as a centre of excellence in clinical care, continually investing in advanced medical technologies and specialized personnel. Through strategic collaborations with organizations, the hospital continues to champion holistic wellness--integrating physical, mental, emotional, and social wellbeing into its service philosophy.
