The Nairobi Hospital has responded to a letter claiming that the Kenya Hospital Association has made changes to the leadership structure of the institution.
Kenya Hospital Association Chairman Dr. Barcley Onyambu dismissed the letter circulating on social media as fake.
Onyambu highlighted several reasons indicating that the letter is fraudulent and should be ignored.
He said no board meeting took place on the date specified in the fake letter.
He emphasised that there are no changes in the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson positions as claimed in the letter.
“The attention of The Nairobi Hospital has been drawn to a letter circulating in the media purporting to originate from an individual claiming to have been elected as the Chairman of the Kenya Hospital Association, the body that oversees the management of the Hospital.
“No board meeting took place on the date alleged in the letter, and therefore no changes to the Board leadership (Chairman and Vice-Chairman) occurred as alleged.”
Further, Onyambu stated that the letter used a fraudulent letterhead intended to mislead stakeholders and the public.
He said the letter was signed as “The Nairobi Hospital Convention Center,” which differs from the name used by the Kenya Hospital Association.
“Kenya Hospital Association trades as “The Nairobi Hospital” and not “The Nairobi Hospital Convention Center,” and any communication bearing a letterhead titled “The Nairobi Hospital Convention Center” is fraudulent and a mischievous move aimed at misleading stakeholders and the public,” Onyambu said.

He urged the public to be cautious about such unofficial communications and to verify through the Hospital’s established channels.
Additionally, Onyambu said Nairobi Hospital’s board matters are communicated through the Company Secretary.
“For the avoidance of doubt, all official communication concerning board matters is solely notified through the office of the Company Secretary, and that remains the position,” Onyambu said.
“We urge the public and media to treat any unofficial correspondence with caution and verify its authenticity through our established channels.”
