Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) is a
USD $2 billion sustainable metropolis centered around a
state-of-the-art medical and technology complex located
within Butere Sub-county, Kakamega County, of the
Republic of Kenya. Construction began in 2014 and the city is currently functional with the 5000 bed hamptons hospital, Hamptons shopping mall, cafe & BnB, 10MW solar plant and rental properties open and buzzing with activities. The city is comprised of five
districts.
MMTC is built with 100% sustainable sources of energy
including hundreds of solar powered street lights
already brightening up freshly paved roads, as well as
the upcoming 144-megawatt waste-to-energy facility
to produce clean electricity for the city from hospital
and municipal waste. MMTC also contains a 36-hole
golf resort with 4,800 private residences along the golf
course. Other amenities include the upcoming 35-acre
Disney-style water park, the world’s largest convention
center and a private international airport connected by a
cable car along a breathtaking route to the hospital.
MMTC is the first fully integrated development plan of its
scale and it is being implemented without relocating the
local community. Instead, the homes of local community
members are being upgraded to international standard
with running water and electricity. Many in the community
also collect rent from newly built rental homes as they
provide accommodation to 1,500 workers already
working within the City every day.
Plaza District The Plaza District currently boasts of a sprawling multimillion-dollar shopping complex, international standard supermarket serving a wide selection of organic produce, the must-try Hamptons Café Bed & Breakfast, more than 100,000 sq. feet of private residential homes, the 5,000 bed Hamptons Hospital and the already completed Cancer Center at the Hamptons Hospital

deaths globally. Doctors are being paid

month to Kshs. 800,000 (USD $8,000)
per month depending on specialty and
experience excluding benefits. Nurses earn
from Kshs. 150,000 (USD $1,500)

patients per day and employ 9,000
workers.

will be the largest hospital in the world
covering all aspects of healthcare while
treating patients with state-of-the art
equipment operated by the world’s top
healthcare professionals. Kakamega

on NHIF.
The Technology Park, situated within the Plaza, will employ 10,000 scientists and engineers by full completion. It currently hosts multinational tech companies such as Arqhealth, Akoin Effect and local kenyan startups being nurtured in the Tech and healthcare space. Work conducted here will catalyze the development of advanced healthcare technologies such as nano-bots to monitor and regulate glucose levels in diabetic patients; mobile and communication technologies that can be applied in areas such as telemedicine as well as advancing emerging applications for artificial intelligence to reduce human error, among others.
