Nairobi Hospital, a leading private healthcare institution in Kenya, is in crisis due to an internal leadership struggle and the withdrawal of coverage by over ten major insurance firms. This has left hundreds of patients stranded and its satellite facilities nearly deserted.

• Over ten top insurance companies have suspended coverage, citing a rate review, leading to patients being turned away or forced to pay out-of-pocket.
• The hospital’s CEO, Felix Osano, and company secretary, Gilbert Nyamweya, are accused by one faction of unilaterally increasing patient charges by up to 61%.
• Two conflicting letters, one from Dr. Barcley Onyambu and the other from Herman Manyora, both claim the chairmanship of the board, highlighting the intense boardroom conflict.
