KMTC Begins Preparations for 2026 National Sports Competition

Preparations for the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) 2026 National Sports Competition are underway following a planning meeting being held at the Mombasa Campus.

The meeting has brought together members of the College Sports Committee and other key stakeholders to deliberate on logistics, coordination, and measures to ensure the successful delivery of this year’s annual event.

The National Sports Competition remains one of the College’s major co-curricular activities, bringing together students from campuses across the country in a platform that promotes talent development, teamwork, discipline, and institutional unity.

Speaking during the meeting on Monday, May 11, 2026, Deputy Registrar, Student Affairs, Ms. Grace Mwangi, emphasised the important role sports play in supporting student wellness and holistic development.

“Sports are not separate from learning; they are part of building balanced, resilient, and disciplined health professionals. Beyond competition, these activities strengthen mental wellness, teamwork, leadership, and social connection among our students and staff,” she said.

She further called upon campuses to begin early preparations and intensify training ahead of the competition. “A successful competition begins with proper preparation. We encourage campuses to actively support their teams and create an environment where students can fully participate and showcase their talents,” she added.

The College continues to prioritise co-curricular engagement as part of its commitment to nurturing well-rounded healthcare professionals who can excel both academically and socially. Through sports and other student activities, KMTC seeks to create supportive learning environments that contribute to students’ physical and mental well-being.

The Committee is expected to finalise key operational plans for the event, with official dates and the host venue to be communicated in due course.

More than 8,000 KCSE school leavers attended the 2026 Nyakach Sub-County Career Fair at Nyakach Technical Institute. Learners from schools across the region engaged with institutions, professional bodies, and corporate partners to explore available career pathways.

Health awareness messages were also shared during the engagements.

Ready to Join KMTC? Your Journey into Healthcare Starts Now

As the March admission date approaches, the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) is prepared to welcome thousands of students into a system rooted in discipline, competence, and service. This date signifies the start of a transformative journey into healthcare, where each lesson learned helps save lives and strengthen communities.

With 92 campuses and five satellite campuses nationwide, KMTC continues to expand access to quality medical training, directly contributing to Kenya’s and the world’s growing demand for skilled health professionals. For incoming students, this means joining a trusted institution at the heart of healthcare delivery, equipped with modern skills laboratories, experienced trainers, and hands-on clinical exposure in real health facilities.

“At KMTC, we are shaping the future of healthcare by equipping our graduates with the skills, values, and professionalism needed to serve with excellence both locally and globally,” said CEO Dr. Kelly Oluoch.

On reporting day, students will go through a structured process that starts with document verification, then fee payment, and registration. Although the process may seem daunting, dedicated staff across campuses are ready to guide and support every step, ensuring a smooth transition into training.

For parents and guardians, the College provides a system rooted in accountability, professionalism, and student welfare, ensuring students are in a safe and supportive learning environment. However, constant vigilance remains essential because this period often attracts scammers who exploit misinformation and urgency. KMTC emphasizes that all admissions and official procedures are handled exclusively through authorized channels, and no individual can influence placement or services in exchange for money.

For partners and stakeholders, this intake presents ongoing opportunities for collaboration in training, research, and service delivery as KMTC aligns its programmes with national and global health priorities.

So, what does this mean? It means every student reporting to KMTC is entering a system designed not only to educate but also to produce skilled, ethical, and job-ready healthcare professionals who will shape the future of healthcare.
