ABOUT US - Corporate Governance

History and Incorporation

The clinic has a long history and is well known across the district. It was founded by Dr. Sam Kampondeni, Consultant Radiologist, in 1998 and was under operation under the name Dr. Kampondenis clinic until 2012. The clinic was renamed as Royal Medical Center thereafter and has remained under the name since 2013.

Dr. Kalongolera, General Surgeon, was invited to join the clinic by Dr. Kampondeni in 2013 when new services were being introduced in addition to the radiological services previously provided. This joint venture had proven to be a great success with Dr. Kalongolera contributing to 40% of the clinics total revenue since then.

In the year 2019 Dr. Kampondeni had established a new radiology clinic in order to provide additional radiological services that required equipment which couldn’t be accommodated at Royal Medical Center due to space restrictions. The clinic was thereafter handed over to Dr. Kalongolera along with the clinic property and equipment on lease. All business accounts have been handed over to the current owner of the brand name Dr. Lughano Kalongolera.

Effective takeover, the business has been converted to a private limited liability company effective 13th December 2019. It was incorporated under registration certificate number TMBR51011212 as a private limited company and trades under the name Royal Medical Center.
