From Humble Beginnings to Premier Care: Dr. Toseef Din Shares the Evolution of M.P. Shah Hospital

Dr. Toseef Din, CEO of M.P. Shah Hospital, provides an overview of the hospital. Located in Nairobi, M.P. Shah Hospital is a modern 217-bed facility renowned for its highly skilled specialists and professional medical staff, making it one of the best private hospitals in Kenya.

“The M.P. Shah Hospital began in the late 1920s as a small facility called Parklands Nursing Home. Over the years, the hospital has expanded significantly in terms of services, workforce, infrastructure, and investment in cutting-edge technology. Today, we are a Level 6 Hospital, the highest level of private hospital, not only in Nairobi, but also Kenya. From our humble beginnings, I can now confidently say that we are one of the premier patient-centric hospitals in Kenya. In the past decade, we have seen substantial growth, particularly since our Chairman, Dr. Manoj Shah, joined the board. Coincidentally, he and I joined in the same year. It is humbling to see the progress we have made under our leadership with a supportive team, including staff members who have been with us for 14 years. The M.P. Shah Hospital has grown from Parklands Nursing Home to a prominent private hospital. Our focus areas include creating centers of excellence, maternal and child health care, oncology, cardiovascular diseases, and ambulatory care. This focus is part of a strategic plan launched in 2021, set to conclude in 2025”, says Dr. Toseef Din.

“The hospital not only prioritizes patient-centered care and improved treatment options but also emphasizes corporate social responsibility. We run the Healing Little Hearts program twice a year, offering free surgeries for babies with congenital issues. We also have programs for children born with hearing impairments, providing cochlear implants to help them lead normal lives. Our initiatives include support for cerebral palsy patients and various community projects aimed at promoting accessible and affordable health care. Additionally, M.P. Shah Hospital has a satellite center at the Village Market Mall in Nairobi, offering similar facilities but without inpatient care. The hospital has seen tremendous growth, tripling our bed capacity from 72 to 217 and expanding our workforce from 300 to 1,400 employees. We have opened new specialized care units, a nursing school, and services for breast care, alongside investing in high-tech medical equipment and electronic health records management. I am extremely proud to be part of this growth journey”, she adds.
