Columbia Asia, an affiliate of local health care company Columbia Pacific Management, announced its expansion to Africa with the recent opening of a 5,300-square-foot medical clinic in Nairobi. The clinic specializes in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, general surgery, orthopedics, ophthalmology and dental care. This is also the launch of a new brand: Columbia Africa. Columbia Asia has 27 hospitals and one clinic in India, Malaysia, Vietnam and Indonesia, all intended to serve those countries' rising middle class. Columbia Asia has 10,000 employees serving more than 2.5 million patients a year. In a statement, Columbia Asia CEO John Northen said, “Africa has become a growing market for us. Kenya is the economic, commercial and logistical hub for all of East Africa, with Nairobi as a major center of growth and foreign investment, so the city was a great fit for our first Columbia Africa facility.”
