Karen Hospital Founder Dr. James Mageria Dies of Cancer
Dr. James Mageria, the co-founder of Karen Hospital has passed away.
Mageria, who was the chairman of the Karen Hospital board, died of cancer on Thursday.
The deceased was also the founder-director of Daystar University and served as the vice president of World Vision in Africa before joining Karen Hospital.
Dr. Betty Gikonyo, the wife of Karen Hospital co-founder Dr. Dan Gikonyo, described him as a great team player with great focus.
“It has been a journey. We have traveled together in the establishment of the Karen Group from the hospital as it is but we worked with him even before the hospital was started for close to 10 years before we came here,” she said.
In the 80s, Mageria served as the CEO of Express Kenya before moving to the US where he worked with Prison Fellowship International in rehabilitating prisoners.
Dr. Mageria also participated in the formation of the 2010 Constitution and the clamor for multi-party democracy, having been an active member of the Ufungamano group chaired by former president Mwai Kibaki when he was the leader of the opposition.
