The private sector in Kenya has been the backbone of the manufacturing industry and some of the big and successful companies across all sectors go back to pre-independence days or have their foundation set by those that operated then.
One such company is Surgipharm, a healthcare company, which although started in 1985, just over two decades after independence, its co-founder Dr Vijai Maini, begun his pharmaceutical career in colonial Kenya.
