The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has issued an urgent deadline notice to members of its graduating class of 2025, warning them that Wednesday, December 17, is the final day to collect their certificates.
In a notice issued on Wednesday, December 17, the institution called on all graduands who have not yet collected their credentials to visit the KMTC Headquarters in Nairobi before the collection window closes.
The college emphasized that students must ensure they have completed their clearance procedures with the institution before attempting to collect their certificates.
The notice serves as a final reminder for those who may have delayed collecting their hard-earned credentials following graduation.
“Attention Graduating Class of 2025. Today is the final day to collect your certificates! If you haven’t picked yours up yet, make sure to head over to the KMTC Headquarters in Nairobi before the window closes,” the notice read.
The institution urged students to take immediate action, warning that failure to collect certificates by the deadline could result in complications.
“Ensure you have completed your clearance with the College. Don’t miss out on securing your hard-earned credentials,” KMTC added.
The clearance requirement typically involves confirming that students have settled all outstanding fees, returned borrowed library materials and equipment, and fulfilled any other institutional obligations before receiving their certificates.
Less than two weeks ago, the government announced significant plans to expand financial support for KMTC trainees.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki announced that the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) funding would be extended to cover all students at the Kenya Medical Training College.
During his address at the 94th KMTC Graduation Ceremony at Kasarani on Thursday, December 4, Kindiki announced that the Ministries of Health, Treasury, and Education would convene in the coming days to develop a funding framework, ensuring that no KMTC student is excluded from government assistance.
“I will be convening relevant ministries in the state departments next week to agree on a formula and how we can start supporting KMTC students to access funding,” the Deputy President stated.
Kindiki also highlighted the comprehensive health-sector transformation undertaken over the previous three years.
He noted the dramatic expansion of medical insurance coverage from 7.5 million to approximately 28 million Kenyans, the deployment of 107,000 Community Health Promoters across the nation, and a substantial KSh 9.7 billion investment in KMTC focused on improving staffing levels, developing infrastructure, and enhancing student welfare.
The Deputy President further detailed the government’s dedication to increasing the institution’s training capacity. This includes initiatives to recruit 1,000 additional KMTC tutors and activate 18 campuses that have remained non-operational across the country.
Kindiki also commended KMTC for its vital role in strengthening Kenya’s healthcare system, encouraging the graduating class to adopt innovation, digital literacy, and take advantage of emerging international opportunities as they transition into the workforce.
