Speaking at the launch, Corporate 24 chief executive officer Dr Mike Joka said: “We packaged ourselves and we were determined to expand, we started only doing consultations and observing patients in 2009. Today I am glad that we will be offering a comprehensive range of health care services such as emergency and walk in, maternity, pharmacy, radiography, laboratory and theatre services. I am even confident that we can withstand any competition.”
