Amason Group, a Tanzanian industrial conglomerate associated with Bamburi Cement and East African Portland Cement, will spend US$ 35 Million-the largest ever private-sector financed boost to prevent maternal deaths in Kenya.

Available figures indicate that in Kenya, 5,000 children and 3,600 mothers die at delivery, with 26 counties currently identified as high-burden maternal death counties.

Speaking at the ground-breaking ceremony and construction works commencement, Amason Group Managing Director Edha Nahdi pledged to complete all the 10 modern hospitals as part of the Pan- African firm’s commitment to shared prosperity ideals in Kenya.

He noted that the speedy completion of the 10 facilities within the next 2 years will also help alleviate the plight of more than 1 million underserved women in Nairobi (2), Kwale, Mombasa, Garissa, Kisumu, Embu, Nakuru, Uasin Gishu and West Pokot.

The project, developed through a Build, Equip and Transfer(BoT) Model will deliver the 10 facilities with 250-bed capacity each.

Whether it’s powering vehicles across borders or constructing landmarks that stand the test of time, Amsons Group is committed to innovation that drives real-world impact.
