Longevity Clinic lands in East Africa, but it has a Kenyan twist to it
Indeed, global wellness economy is projected to have exceeded USD 6.3 trillion, with wellness tourism valued at nearly USD 830 billion. That number, experts believe, could grow to around $7.4 trillion by 2025, with a strong annual growth rate of 8.6%, driven by the integration of technology like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and personalized treatments.
Kenya will this week unveil its first dedicated longevity clinic, a first in the East African market, as the country seeks to tap into the growing demand for such wellness services previously reserved for the wealthy.
It is a demand being driven by increasing consumer interest in living longer, healthier lives, and advancements in medical science, according to the Limitless Clinic by Entim Sidai, which will open its doors this weekend, by introducing science-backed longevity care that rivals what has long been centered in South Africa and other international markets.
“Africa has always been the cradle of humanity now, we reclaim leading innovation in longevity medicine here,” says Dr. Elie Abirached, founder of Limitless Human and lead clinician at the new clinic.
“With health challenges like chronic disease, mental health concerns, and demands for quality of life growing both locally and globally, the desire to live longer and better is now one of the most profound shifts in healthcare. At Entim Sidai, wellness is not a trend, but a way of life,” says Dr. Jacqueline Manu, MD, Limitless Clinic.
