The Government has announced plans to operationalise the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Mutyambua Campus and strengthen services at Mutyambua Sub-County Hospital in Makueni County, in a move aimed at expanding medical training and improving access to healthcare in the region.
The announcement was made during a public participation forum held under the Inua Jamii Mashinani initiative and led by Principal Secretary for Public Health and Professional Standards Mary Muthoni in Mutyambua, where residents were briefed on key government programmes aimed at improving service delivery and livelihoods.
Plans include the construction of a 10-classroom tuition block and a 340-bed hostel to support the operationalisation of the KMTC campus and enhance medical training capacity.
Mutyambua Sub-County Hospital will also be equipped through a partnership between the national and county governments under the National Equipment Support Programme (NESP) to strengthen healthcare service delivery in the area.
Residents were further updated on other ongoing government initiatives, including the Affordable Housing project in Wote, construction of modern markets in Wote and Kathonzweni, support to farmers through subsidised fertiliser, and the Emali–Matiliku road construction project.
The forum brought together representatives from several government agencies, including officials from KeNHA, Konza Technopolis, KIMC and the State Department for Housing, as well as Ministry of Health officials and KMTC representatives.
