From Nairobi to underserved counties, Jayesh Saini’s healthcare model is inspiring a new era of accessibility, affordability, and innovation across Africa, and catching attention in the Gulf.
In an era of global health transformation, few names resonate across both Africa and the Gulf like Jayesh Saini. The Nairobi-based entrepreneur, philanthropist, and healthcare visionary has spent more than a decade reimagining healthcare delivery in Kenya, and his work is now sparking interest in regions looking to combine affordability with cutting-edge care.
At the heart of Saini’s impact is a simple idea: healthcare should be accessible, dignified, and scalable. As the founder and chairman of a growing network of medical ventures, from outpatient clinics and multispecialty hospitals to fertility centers, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and charitable foundations, Jayesh Saini has helped shape one of the most extensive private healthcare ecosystems in Kenya. As a result of his efforts, he has been honored with Global Leader Award in Dubai, the Best Emerging Brand award in London and the Lifetime Achievement Award in India.
His flagship, Bliss Healthcare, operates over 59 medical centers across 37 counties in Kenya, making it the country’s largest outpatient network. These centers provide a wide spectrum of services, including diagnostics, chronic disease management, outpatient surgeries, and teleconsultation, bringing modern medicine closer to patients in both urban neighborhoods and rural regions. Where once healthcare was centralized and limited, Bliss has enabled a decentralized model focused on access and quality.
Complementing this is Lifecare Hospitals, a chain of 7advanced multispecialty facilities spread across Kenya’s underserved regions such as Bungoma, Migori, Kikuyu, Meru, Mlolongo, and Eldoret, and newly launch in Tanzania. These hospitals offer services ranging from general surgery and orthopedics to ICUs, having center of excellence in cardiology, nephrology, oncology, neurology, and mental health among others. Their mission is not only to treat but to build trust, ensuring that patients across the nation receive consistent, high-quality care regardless of location and background.
Pharmaceutical self-reliance is the third pillar Saini built. Dinlas Pharma, based in Nairobi, manufactures essential drugs across multiple therapeutic categories. The facility, with massive manufacturing capability, meets stringent GMP standards and aims to supply markets across Sub-Saharan Africa and eventually the EU. This pharmaceutical foundation not only strengthens Kenya’s health supply chain but also opens doors for UAE-Africa collaboration in regional manufacturing and medical exports.
Yet Jayesh Saini’s contributions don’t stop at hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and clinics. He is also the force behind Fertility Point Kenya, a fertility center with an exceptional success rate and modern embryology labs. With 4 clinics in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Mombasa, Fertility Point has become a destination for hopeful parents from both within Kenya and abroad. Backed by global affiliations, the facility offers procedures such as IVF, ICSI, TESA, PESA, and more, positioning it at the forefront of reproductive medicine in Africa, as it is preparing to launch branches in Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and Tanzania.
Driving all of this is a future-oriented vision. Jayesh Saini has long believed that technology and digital health are critical to reaching the next frontier in care. Through virtual consultations, fraud detection by AI services, chronic care monitoring programs like “DawaNyumbani,” and telemedicine platforms, his organizations have bridged distance with innovation, a principle that resonates strongly with Gulf health strategies prioritizing tech-enabled care.
Beyond building traditional ecosystem, Jayesh Saini channels his commitment to equity through the Lifecare Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to bridging systemic healthcare gaps. The foundation runs free health camps, donates medical equipment, sponsors life-saving surgeries, and supports children’s education. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation sponsored the education of more than 200 orphans, including children of teachers, police officers, and public servants and every year, over 100,000 people are benefited through such programs.
It is this unique blend of operational scale, social conscience, and patient-first design that makes Jayesh Saini’s model so compelling, particularly as the UAE continues to deepen ties with Africa across trade, health, and investment. Gulf nations seeking efficient, high-impact healthcare systems can find valuable insights in Kenya’s evolution under Saini’s leadership.
With a growing emphasis on cross-border partnerships, supply chain resilience, and localized care, the Gulf is noticing leaders who are delivering not just infrastructure but outcomes. And in that conversation, Jayesh Saini is becoming a name to watch, not just for what he’s built, but for the healthcare blueprint he’s sharing with the world.
From county-level clinics to regional hospitals, from fertility care to Lifecare Foundation, his story is one of purpose-driven expansion.
