President William Ruto has laid the foundation stone for the Nyangweta KMTC in South Mugirango, Kisii county, marking a significant step towards expanding access to medical training in the region.

The new campus of the Kenya Medical Training College is expected to ease pressure on existing institutions while creating opportunities for local students to pursue careers in healthcare.

The project reflects the government’s broader push to strengthen grassroots health systems by investing in training and infrastructure.

Once complete, the facility will not only boost enrolment capacity but also contribute to addressing the shortage of skilled health workers.

Residents and leaders welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism that it will spur development, create jobs and improve access to quality healthcare services across South Mugirango and the wider Kisii region.
