The Avenues Clinic

What The Avenues Clinic does

The Avenues Clinic is the flagship 176-bed, Grade A multidisciplinary private hospital operated by Medical Investments Limited (MIL) in Harare, Zimbabwe, founded in 1983. The hospital delivers an integrated range of specialist services across critical care (7-bed ICU with 1:1 nurse-patient ratio, 4-bed CCU, 16-bed HDU), surgery (34-bed surgical ward), medicine (34-bed medical ward), paediatrics (16 beds), maternity with an expanded NICU now accepting national referrals, casualty and accident-and-emergency, plus executive private-ward accommodation. Specialized clinical units include St Clements Clinic (7-bed chemotherapy unit with three oncologists, opened 1995), Montagu Clinic (20-bed COVID-19 facility opened 2021 under the Montagu Covid19 Relief Trust), The Avenues Clinic Laboratory (24-hour pathological services approved by MoHCCC and WHO, registered 2021), the Retail Pharmacy, and Baines Imaging Group (radiology including CT, MRI, X-ray, mammography, ultrasound, angiography, in which MIL holds a 45% stake). The group also operates a Ministry of Health-accredited School of Nursing with 100% graduate pass rates.

The underlying technology stack is conventional clinical infrastructure rather than AI-enabled: ABG machines, central ICU monitoring, life-support and invasive/non-invasive monitoring equipment, neonatal systems, and Baines Imaging Group's imaging modalities. Distribution is direct through hospital facilities plus an online booking and PayNow payment gateway, supported by WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram channels. Revenue derives from inpatient and outpatient services, pharmacy sales, diagnostic imaging, laboratory testing, chemotherapy, and corporate COVID-19 vaccination programs; pricing is quote-based, pay-as-you-go, and accepts cash (USD, ZWL, ZAR) plus seven major medical aid insurers (CIMAS, First Mutual Life, Cellmed, Alliance/Northern, BonVie, Flimas, Minerva). The hospital serves local, regional, and international patients, drawing national referrals for neonatal care while targeting executive clientele for its premium private ward. A US$4 million modernization completed in February 2026 (including US$2.5M in specialized clinical technology) signals ongoing capital reinvestment into facility and equipment upgrades.
