Kenya Medical Training College, Courses, Fees, and Contacts

Welcome to KMTC – Where Future Healthcare Heroes Are Made (and Possibly Survive Anatomy Class)

The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is not your average college—it’s a government-sanctioned hub of health knowledge, where stethoscopes are practically handed out with the student ID. Established under Section 3 of the Kenya Medical Training College Act (Cap 261), KMTC proudly operates under the Ministry of Health.

With 84 campuses and 5 satellite stations, we’re basically the kings of medical training—strategically planted in 45 of Kenya’s 47 counties and offering 95 certified ways to save lives across 18 departments. Whether you’re into bones, brains, or bandages, KMTC has got a course with your name on it.

Our Vision

To be so good at training health pros, even global competitors politely ask for tips.

Our Mission

To mold next-gen health workers through bold training, brainy research, and a bit of life-saving wizardry.
