About
The History of the Mombasa Hospital begins in 1891 when the Imperial British East Africa Company, which had been granted its charter from Queen Victoria only three years earlier, received a substantial donation to build a Hospital.They chose to name it the English Hospital and they gave the running of it to the Holy Ghost Fathers of the Roman Catholic Church. A two storey bungalow was adapted for use as a hospital with accommodation for about 12 patients.
