The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has won the Driving Digitization in Government Award under the Public Sector Education Category at the Africa Public Sector Conference and Awards (APSCA) 2025.
The recognition ceremony, held on Thursday, October 9, 2025, in South Africa, brought together senior public officials, government agencies, and organizations from across Africa to celebrate excellence and innovation in public service.
The award recognizes KMTC’s successful use of digital technology to improve the efficiency of health training.

“This award belongs to all of us who, in one way or another, contributed to the success of the College. I want to sincerely thank the Board of Directors, staff, and students for making us great,” he added.
