Kenya Medical Training College is commonly known to many as KMTC, is the largest public middle-level training center that was founded under the Ministry of Health in 1927 with just four scholars at Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA) in Kabete. Presently, the institution is home to over 22,000 students pursuing more than 50 KMTC courses ranging from certificate, diploma and higher diplomas. Over time, MKTC has introduced newer courses to cater for the growing needs of the healthcare sector. Every year KMTC produces over 6000 medical practitioners to work in both the public and health sectors, and this is approximately 80% of the entire medical workforce in Kenya.

KMTC is located approximately 3km in the Northern part of Nairobi City with its head offices and main campus based opposite Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) on a 20-acre piece of land. KMTC has thirty-six schools spread out in different locations within Kenya such as Lodwar, Kisumu, Garrisa, and Loitoiktok. All such campuses have been strategically located near a provincial or district facility to make it easier for students to undertake their clinical attachment. The institution is well endowed with qualified and experienced teachers as well as administrative personnel. Because of this, KMTC draws students from East and Central Africa nations including Sudan, Burundi, Nigeria, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Uganda. The unprecedented growth of KMTC from its initial stages is due to the steady government support, dedication of the staff as well as the scholar’s diligence
