Mombasa Campus Hosts Mvita MP Hon. Machele Mohamed

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Mombasa Campus, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, hosted Mvita MP Hon. Machele Mohamed for discussions on partnerships to support the growth of the campus.

The MP, accompanied by County Executive Committee Member for Youth and Sports Hon. Jonathan Wepukhulu and officials from his office, was received by the campus leadership. Talks focused on campus expansion, student support, and partnerships that benefit both learners and surrounding communities.

The MP committed to allocating additional resources to complete the Mvita block, a project initiated earlier by the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) Mvita Constituency.

Mombasa Campus Principal Dr. Jacinta Mukonzo briefed the delegation on the student population, which currently stands at about 2,500 learners enrolled in various programmes.

“We appreciate the continued support from our leaders, which strengthens our ability to provide quality training and a conducive learning environment for our students,” she said.

Dr. Mukonzo also requested support for the construction of two additional floors to ease space constraints.

In response, Hon. Machele directed the Clerk of Works to prepare a bill of quantities and committed to fund the construction of one floor, a step expected to reduce pressure on facilities as enrolment grows.

“Education and health training are key pillars of community development. Supporting KMTC means investing directly in the future of healthcare services in our constituency and beyond,” Hon. Machele noted.

The MP further pledged to sponsor between 20 and 30 students from Mvita Constituency and an additional 20 Community Health Promoters in the upcoming March intake, widening access to health training.

Student accommodation challenges were also discussed, with a follow-up meeting proposed to explore the development of a hostel.

KMTC Mbooni Campus receives Kshs 8 Million to boost infrastructure expansion

Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Mbooni Campus has stepped up efforts to modernise its facilities to strengthen training capacity and improve the learning environment.

On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, the Campus received a Kshs 8 million tender award from the Mbooni National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) to support the construction of additional classrooms.
Over the past few years, the Campus, which currently serves 629 students, has benefited from approximately Kshs 100 million in NG-CDF support. These investments have enabled the construction of 12 classrooms, a 400-capacity hostel, skills laboratories, and computer labs, significantly enhancing teaching and learning infrastructure.

Speaking while receiving the award, the Resource Mobilization Manager, Mr. Job Nyakado, who represented CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch, expressed appreciation to the area Member of Parliament, Hon. Erastus Kivasu, for prioritising the Campus in resource allocation. He noted that the strong partnership between KMTC and the NG-CDF has enabled the College to introduce additional academic programmes and expand training opportunities.

Campus Principal Ms. Felistus Kimanzi revealed that the NG-CDF has committed to constructing a two-storey building to accommodate the new classrooms.
“The funds will support the completion of the first floor, which will house four classrooms and other essential amenities. We expect the project to be completed within the next few months,” she said.

In addition to infrastructure development, the Campus has launched a beautification programme, planting 4,000 tree seedlings to enhance the learning environment and promote environmental sustainability.

KMTC Webuye Campus Produces 23 President’s Award Gold Winners

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Webuye Campus has reached a major milestone in youth development, with 23 students successfully attaining the President’s Award- Kenya (PAK) Gold level in 2025, culminating in the conferment of certificates by H.E. President William Ruto.

Commenting on the achievement, KMTC Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, lauded the students and staff for their resilience and commitment to holistic development. “The success of our students at Webuye Campus in attaining the President’s Award Gold level is a powerful affirmation of our commitment to nurturing well-rounded healthcare professionals,” Dr. Oluoch said. He noted that beyond academic excellence, the programme builds character, leadership, discipline, and a strong sense of service to the community, qualities essential to effective healthcare delivery. “I commend the students, Award Leaders, and campus leadership for this outstanding achievement,” the CEO added.

The campus joined the President’s Award programme in 2023 with an initial enrolment of 30 students. To support its implementation, two Award Leaders were trained to guide participants through the Bronze, Silver, and Gold levels, ensuring compliance with programme requirements via the Online Record Book (ORB).

Participants engaged in structured activities across the five core pillars of the programme: Skills, Physical Recreation, Voluntary Service, Adventurous Journey, and Residential Project. Through the skills component, students developed talents in leadership, public speaking, coaching, farming, crocheting, singing, cooking, and sports officiating. Physical recreation activities included hockey, volleyball, cycling, swimming, dancing, football, and modelling, all of which promoted fitness and discipline.

Community service featured prominently, with students engaging in environmental cleanups on campus and in the surrounding town, volunteering at hospitals, and fundraising for charity, reinforcing the values of service and social responsibility.

A key highlight of the programme was the Adventurous Journey, which tested participants’ endurance and teamwork. Twenty-three students completed a four-day expedition in Port Victoria, Busia County, covering over 21 kilometres daily under the supervision of certified PAK assessors. A second expedition was later undertaken at Mount Longonot, with all participants successfully assessed and confirmed on the ORB.

The programme concluded with a Residential Project centred on environmental conservation, during which students planted trees in nearby primary schools and contributed to the planting of over 500 seedlings at the upcoming KMTC Ndalu Campus, leaving a lasting environmental legacy.

Despite financial and time constraints, the students demonstrated remarkable resilience and commitment. With support from Award Leaders, campus staff, and the Principal, the cohort persevered to achieve Gold-level success.

The KMTC leadership’s support for co-curricular activities, P.A. among them, exemplifies a commitment to holistic education that fosters disciplined, resilient, and community-oriented healthcare professionals beyond mere academic training.

KMTC CEO Inspires Future Health Professionals at KUCCPS Career Conference

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) CEO, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, engaged prospective students at the ongoing National Career Conference and Exhibition organised by the Kenya Universities and Colleges Central Placement Service (KUCCPS).

The College is among institutions exhibiting at the three-day event taking place from January 27 to 29, 2026, at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre (KICC).

Dr. Oluoch toured the KMTC stand and held one-on-one interactions with learners seeking information about joining the College. Dozens of students gathered at the exhibition booth to understand available programmes and career pathways in the health sector.

The CEO encouraged aspiring health professionals to consider KMTC as their institution of choice, highlighting the College’s role in bridging gaps in middle-level health training.

“Joining KMTC is the best thing you can ever do if you want to take your career to the next level,” he said.
“Our recent performance in the Webometrics rankings reflects the steady growth of our academic strength and digital visibility,” he added.

The College recorded a strong performance in the January 2026 Webometrics Rankings, placing second among non-university training and research institutions in Kenya. Nationally, KMTC stands 20th overall, ahead of 46 universities.

Dr. Oluoch emphasised the College’s training model, which focuses on 70 percent practical and 30 percent theory, equipping students with the hands-on skills required in modern healthcare settings.

This practical orientation has positioned KMTC as a leading health training institution, producing graduates who are workplace-ready and competitive in both local and international job markets.

Learners were advised to stay informed through official KMTC communication channels, noting that while applications for the March 2026 intake have closed, details on the September 2026 intake will be communicated in due course.

“Students should rely on official KMTC platforms for accurate updates on upcoming intakes and career opportunities,” he added.

The event continues to offer students an opportunity to explore career options and receive guidance as they prepare for higher education. The conference has brought together students, parents, universities, and TVET institutions under the theme “Informed Career Choices: A Skilled and Competitive Workforce.”

KMTC champions integration of NCDs and emergency preparedness at Regional Health Security Summit

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) CEO, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, on Tuesday (January 27, 2026), participated in a high-level panel discussion during the Eastern Africa Regional Global Health Security Summit 2026 held in Nairobi.

The session, hosted at Amref International University, focused on how health training curricula can better prepare health professionals to manage noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) during emergencies.

The breakout session, themed “Resilient People, Resilient Systems: Reframing the Role of NCDs in the Health Security Agenda,” brought together health experts and educators to discuss how training institutions can strengthen health systems through education.

Dr. Oluoch highlighted the urgent need to link NCD care with emergency preparedness in health training. He noted that diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory conditions account for 74 percent of global deaths, with most cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries.

“Health emergencies do not pause chronic illnesses. Our training must prepare health workers to manage NCDs even when systems are under pressure,” he said.

He emphasized that people living with NCDs face greater risks during disasters when access to medicine and care is disrupted.
He explained that KMTC has already taken steps to respond to this challenge by reviewing its curricula to include prevention, early detection, and management of NCDs. Courses such as Community Health Assistant and Nutrition and Dietetics play a key role in promoting preventive care at the community level.

The CEO also pointed out gaps that still exist in health training. He noted that many programs focus more on treatment than prevention and are still delivered through traditional lecture-based methods.

“We must shift from purely curative training to prevention-focused approaches while embracing modern delivery models such as simulation and competency-based education,” Dr. Oluoch observed.

KMTC is addressing this through competency-based education, simulation labs, and inter-professional training to help students learn to manage multiple health conditions simultaneously.

Dr. Oluoch further shared that KMTC has introduced a mental health module for all pre-service students and wellness programs for staff and learners to promote healthy lifestyles.

Through partnerships, including support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the College is strengthening training capacity, improving infrastructure, and offering scholarships, especially in underserved areas like Turkana County.

“Regional collaboration, technology integration, and multisectoral partnerships are key to building a health workforce that can respond to both chronic diseases and emergencies,” he added.

Founded in 1927, KMTC is Kenya’s largest middle-level health training institution, with 92 campuses and over 85,000 students. Its graduates form the backbone of the country’s health workforce.
