The Metro Group PLC is a prominent healthcare investment firm based in Kenya, specializing in the ownership and operation of hospitals and real estate projects. Founded in 1994 by a group of healthcare professionals, the company has grown to include over 500 shareholders and has been instrumental in providing quality, cost-effective healthcare services through its flagship Metropolitan Hospital and the acquisition of Ladnan Hospital.

The company's investment strategy encompasses both healthcare and real estate sectors, with a focus on growth and buyout opportunities.
