April has been an extremely busy start of the quarter at Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) in Butere Sub County of Kakamega County, Kenya.
A total of seven high powered international delegations from Africa, Europe and USA visited the City for benchmarking and for investment partnerships with Hamptons hospital and MMTC. The hightened visits come as the new proposed Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) from Naivasha to Malaba is supposed to connect MMTC to entire East African region.
The investment partnerships from some of the delegations saw the injection of Kshs 1.7 billion for the expansion of 8 satellite hospital branches for Hamptons hospital in Kakamega, Siaya, Busia and Bungoma Counties. The expansion will begin in July 2026 and complete by June 2027.
The hospital also received a donation of Kshs 287 million for the tarmacking of a 4 KM link road from the Airport district at MMTC to the new proposed Standard gauge railway (SGR) station at Musanda in Butere Sub County. The SGR station is expected to connect MMTC to the world as the SGR is part of the China Silk road and rail network.
Finally the MMTC football club received six sponsorship tickets for World cup soccer attendance in North America in June and July 2026. The tickets will be allocated to the representatives of the Mwalmart professional team, MMTC youth soccer team and MMTC starlets soccer club.
Mwalmart FC played 48 league matches in the past 12 months and won 41 , drew in 5 and lost 2. World cup attendance will boost the standard of football for the team as it prepares to enter the Kenya Premier League in the 2028 season.
