Avenue Healthcare

Avenue Healthcare is a private East African healthcare delivery company operating hospitals, outpatient medical centres, laboratory and diagnostic services, pharmacy services, home-based care, and specialized clinical services in Kenya. The business originated as a nursing home in Nairobi and has expanded into a multi-site provider network serving both primary and secondary care needs. Avenue Healthcare is not a drug-development biotech or pharma company; it is a care-delivery organization focused on affordable, accessible healthcare services rather than therapeutic R&D. The company reports a network of fully fledged hospitals and numerous medical centres, with substantial outpatient volume and a broad specialist base. It has been associated with the name "Avenue Group" in corporate materials and appears to have been acquired by Abraaj Group in 2017 according to transaction databases, while continuing to operate under the Avenue Healthcare brand.
