NEW DELHI, Oct. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Marengo Asia Hospitals announces the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Metropolitan Hospitals Limited (Kenya) and Zoscales Partners under its Clinical Corridor Initiative to build “Centre of Excellence” at the Metropolitan Hospital in Nairobi. This landmark collaboration aims to significantly improve healthcare accessibility and affordability in tertiary care across East Africa, addressing the urgent need for advanced healthcare services in the region.

This is based on the principles of 3 Ts (Teach, Train and Treat) in elevating healthcare standards globally. We are committed to capacity building, advancing healthcare standards and fostering collaboration across boundaries. With a rich history in establishing Centres of Excellence (CoEs) for healthcare providers globally, we have set up CoEs in cardiology, oncology, and transplants in Mongolia, and Asia Pacific, fostering international collaboration and advancing healthcare capabilities,” said Dr. Raajiv Singhal, Founding Member, Managing Director, and CEO of Marengo Asia Hospitals. “Our holistic approach in developing Centres of Excellence includes teams planning, infrastructure, compliance, development of pathways protocols, and training for all department stakeholders,” he added. 

“By upgrading our clinical services and expanding access to advanced healthcare, we are not only improving the quality of care but also making it more affordable and accessible to a broader population,” said Dr. K. K. Gakombe, Founder and CEO of Metropolitan Hospitals Limited. “This partnership with Marengo Asia Hospitals and Zoscales Partners enables us to significantly expand our reach and amplify our positive impact,” he added. 

“This partnership underscores our commitment to making a meaningful difference where it matters most—improving access to quality healthcare,” said Jacop B. Rentschler, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Zoscales Partners. “By combining Marengo Asia Hospitals’ world-class expertise with Metropolitan Hospitals’ local strength, we are building a transformative platform that will boost clinical capacity and expand sustainable healthcare access for communities across East Africa,” he concluded.

This groundbreaking initiative aims to provide advanced cardiac treatments and specialized care to the Mongolian population, addressing a critical need for high-quality healthcare services. Together, Marengo Asia Hospitals, Metropolitan Hospitals, and Zoscales Partners are forging a powerful alliance to build a sustainable healthcare framework that will enhance the well-being of communities across East Africa.

Celebrating community, creativity, and self-expression through a limited-edition drop inspired by India’s most vibrant subcultures.

MUMBAI, India, June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Jameson Connects joins forces with India’s largest sneaker and streetwear retailer, Crepdog Crew, to launch a one-of-a-kind limited-edition capsule that celebrates the spirit of counterculture in India.
