Mwale Medical and Technology City (commonly abbreviated as MMTC) is a planned, community-owned sustainable city located in Butere, Kakamega County, Kenya. The development is centered on a large medical complex, anchored by Hamptons Hospital, which has a reported capacity of 5,000 patients. The city also includes a research and innovation park situated within its Plaza district.
MMTC comprises several functional districts, including an industrial area anchored by a solar power plant, and residential zones that incorporate amenities such as a 36-hole golf course. A commercial district features shopping malls, supermarkets, and hotels, while an airport district has been planned to facilitate patient evacuation to the hospital, including a proposed cable car system.
According to Julius Mwale, the founder of MMTC, the project has cost US$2 billion.
