“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.
