The Standard e-Paper
Kenya’s Boldest Voice
The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The influence of Queen Elizabeth II, Britain's longest-serving monarch, can still be felt in former colonies like Kenya in many areas including healthcare, colonial atrocities aside.
The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi, for instance, was initially the Native Civil Hospital when it opened in 1901. Half a century later, it was renamed King George VI, after Queen Elizabeth's father who died when the 25-year-old was in Kenya on a royal tour in February 1952. She later returned and a plaque at the administration block commemorates her royal visit in 1959.
