One of the leading healthcare providers, AAR Healthcare Kenya, has showcased its commitment to expanding its national reach with the launch of a new Outpatient Centre in Meru Town, Meru County.

Speaking during the launching ceremony, AAR’s General Manager Ms Elizabeth Wasunna said the state-of-the-art facility located at the heart of Meru town reflects their unwavering commitment to delivering accessible, affordable, and high-quality healthcare services to the residents of Meru County and beyond.

She said the Meru Outpatient Centre is part of the organization's expanding network, bringing the total number of outpatient centres in the country to 26, with an aim of expanding to 40 centres before its 40th anniversary in 2024 with plans underway to increase specialist services from 20 to 25.

It is with great pride that we know we have aligned our approach towards health provision and we are glad that we share our vision for healthcare excellence with Meru County,” said Ms Wasunna.
