From Being Idle in Med School to the helm of one of Kenya’s biggest Health Insurances, Dr PATRICK GATONGA, CEO Jubilee Health Insurance opens up to Dr Mercy Korir on his journey and purpose. Dr Gatonga () had refused to go to school when younger, missing nursery school but eventually skipping some classes to catch up with his age mates at Naromoru Primary School. Dr Gatonga opted to pursue medicine and cardiology having seen his mother’s condition change from a hardworking woman to being bedridden for six months due to rheumatic heart disease. She had moved from hospital to hospital in search of a solution before eventually landing at KNH. He felt idle after this degree, having come from an intense pressure environment to continue with his degree in medicine and surgery.
