KMTC Kwale Campus (Physical location, Courses, Requirements, How to apply and Contacts)

February 21, 2026 News Pro Team Leave a comment

Advertisements

KMTC Kwale Campus was formerly known as Matuga Medical Training College. It was established in 1977 as a result of identified need to train Public Health Officers (PHOs).

In 1985 the then Principal Matuga Training Centre was advised by the Ministry to consider searching for a plot to construct a medical training centre which was to be funded by Government. Upon sharing the idea with the District Development Committee, in 1998 the College was allocated a plot measuring 13.5 acres through the District Development Plot Allocation Committee.

In 1999 Kenya Medical Training College was granted an autonomous status by the Government which made the Ministry of Health shelve the initial idea of construction of the Matuga Training Centre.

Advertisements

In the same year the Principal shared the idea of the plot to the then Director Kenya Medical Training College and was advised to mobilize the community to take over the project of construction while Kenya Medical Training College was to provide staff, students, other learning equipment and materials.

In the year 2000, Matuga Medical Training College staff mobilized the local leaders who under the leadership of the area Member of Parliament came up with a committee known as the Kwale Medical Training College – Building Project Committee to work out modalities of developing the project.

The Chair was and is to-date Al-Hajj Kassim Zani, the Principal was and is to-date the Secretary and the area Member of Parliament being the Patron of the committee. Members come from almost all the former Districts in Coast Province.

In September 2012, having met the requirements, the Campus admitted 41 Diploma students in Environmental Health Sciences, still under KMTC Msambweni Campus. In January 2014 the entire department of Environmental Health Sciences was moved from Msambweni Campus to Kwale Campus.

In the year 2015, KMTC – Kwale Campus gained autonomous status and delinked from KMTC-Msambweni Campus. In August 2016, the Campus was relocated to Tumbe in Msambweni Division (currently Msambweni Sub-County), which was an Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) for Tuberculosis and Leprosy diseases.

KMTC Manza Campus (Physical location, Courses, Requirements, How to apply and Contacts)

February 21, 2026 News Pro Team Leave a comment

Advertisements

KMTC Manza Campus is located at Kenya Israel Shopping Centre, four kilometers from Machakos town along the Machakos – Nairobi road. The Campus’ history dates back between 1955 and 1956, when the Rural Day Primary School for European children was established.

When the number of European children attending the school dropped after independence in 1963, the Israel Government started a Social Workers’ (SW) course at the popularly known Kenya Israel School. The training continued until 1972 when the SW course was transferred to Kenya Institute of Administration (KIA).

In 1976, the Ministry of Education handed over the buildings to the Ministry of Health for use by University of Nairobi medical students who were studying rural medicine. Later, it began to train Registered Medical Assistants (Clinical Medicine Officers).

Advertisements

In 1979, the first certificate class of Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) students (Public Health Technicians) was admitted into the Campus. Being spacious, in September 1991, the KMTC Nairobi Campus identified it as an ideal place to train its third-year Clinical Medicine students who were undertaking practicals at the then Machakos General Hospital.

In 1998, the certificate course in Environmental Health Sciences (EHS) was phased out and a diploma course introduced. In 2006, a three-month certificate course in Community Health Development (CHD) was introduced. The Department of Pharmacy was established in 2009, admitting its first-year class, while Medical Imaging Sciences department admitted its first class in September 2012.

Health Records and Information Technology is the newest department having admitted its first certificate intake in March 2016 and in September 2018 admitted its first upgrading certificate to diploma.

Advertisements

The Campus has reintroduced CHD course and intends to further introduce more programmes.

KMTC Karen Campus (Physical location, Courses, Requirements, How to apply and Contacts)

February 21, 2026 News Pro Team Leave a comment

Advertisements

Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Karen Campus is a “Centre of Excellence” in Training Nutrition and Dietetic courses. It is situated in high-end residential area of Karen, about 22 kilometers from Nairobi City on a 12.5 acre piece of land. It is situated about 14 miles south west of Nairobi, facing the slopes of Ngong Hills.

Karen Campus was established in 1965 by the Danish Government in honor of world-known Danish author – Karen Blixen (1885-1962), who wrote her works in Danish and English. Karen Blixen is best known under her pen names Isak Dinesen, used in English-speaking countries, and Tania Blixen, used in German-speaking countries. She also published works using the aliases Osceola and Pierre Andrézel.

During her stay in Kenya between (1912- 1931) as Danish settler, she established Karen land (6000 acres). Of this land, about 600 acres were used for a coffee plantation; 3,400 acres used by the natives for grazing; while 2,000 acres of virgin forest were left untouched.

Advertisements

While on the Karen land, Ms. Blixen taught African girls subjects such as hygiene, food preparation and basic First Aid, outside her house, which is now Karen Blixen Museum.

Karen Campus was first established at Karen House (now- Karen Blixen Museum). After Kenya attained independence in 1963, the Danish Government donated “Karen House”, with its 36 acres of land and constructed the current Campus next to Karen Blixen Museum.

The Campus was then handed over to the Kenya Government in 1965 and was officially inaugurated by the then Vice President of the Republic of Kenya Hon. Joseph Murumbi on 2^nd September 1966.

Advertisements

The Karen House then became the Principal’s residence until 1985. Due to large number of tourists interested in the Karen House, Kenya Museum Society requested the Government to convert it to a museum, resulting in the establishment of Karen Blixen Museum.

Danish Collaboration

Although the Karen Campus was built by the Danish Government, its planning was carried out in close collaboration with the Kenyan Government. Between 1965 and 1971, the administration of the College was by a Consultative Board.

The Board, with representatives from the Kenyan Ministries concerned and the Danish Government, was entrusted with the educational planning of the Campus, while the day to day administration was the responsibility of a Danish Principal.

The Campus was staffed with Danish and Kenyan teachers of nutrition, hygiene, and gardening. The agreement was that the Danish people were to run the Campus for five years between 1965 and 1970, and hand it over to the Ministry of Health- Division of Medical Training College (MTC). The first African Principal, Rosemary Moraa, took over in 1976.

In 1997, high demand for training in the field resulted in the establishment of an in-service diploma Course in Nutrition, targeting those who had done certificate technician course. The certificate course was eventually phased out to give way to a diploma course in Nutrition in 2001. However, due to demand, the two-year certificate course was re-introduced in 2010.
