Shalom Hospital was established as a clinic in 1992 in a rented house in Mutituni. It grew in stages, changed location and in 1998 was upgraded to Dr. Onyango Nursing Home. Undaunted and unfazed by the obstacles faced, Shalom Hospital Machakos opened its doors in 2002 to become a fully-fledged private hospital with an aim to providing quality and affordable healthcare in the region.
