The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has confirmed that it has dispatched academic transcripts to all its campuses for graduates to collect.
In a statement on Thursday, September 18, KMTC's CEO, Kelly Oluoch, claimed that the college has already dispatched 13,000 transcripts to its campuses across the country for students who completed their final examinations in June-July 2025.
According to Oluch, the students can collect the transcripts within the next three weeks and verify them online through the KMTC website.
“With automation, students can now verify transcripts online, and with decentralisation, they can collect documents at their campuses three weeks after completing exams,” Oluoch stated.
According to Oluoch, the transcripts will enable the graduates to have an easy sail looking for job opportunities both inside and outside the country.
"In recent years, KMTC has invested in digitising academic records and decentralising services to meet the rising demand for timely transcripts," Oluoch stated.
“Our reforms are designed to ensure graduates do not miss opportunities. These measures ensure our graduates remain competitive in the job market,” he added.
According to Oluoch, the college will also deploy other technology-based strategies to ensure the digitisation of academic records in addition to decentralising its services.
"The College has also scaled up the Transcript Mashinani initiative, which takes services closer to graduates during national events, where transcripts are issued on the spot. Currently, transcripts are processed within just one day, once requirements are met, and always within the 10 days set out in the Citizens’ Service Delivery Charter," Oluoch said.
The announcement comes a day after Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale announced that the medical staff shortage in the country has now prompted the government to be keen on absorbing more KMTC graduates in the health sector.
In a statement on Wednesday, September 17, Duale asserted that reinforcing the country's healthcare workforce capacity will be critical in ensuring the seamless rollout of the Social Health Authority (SHA) and addressing other challenges that are hindering the Universal Health Coverage (UHC).
"With 91 campuses in 45 counties, KMTC produces 85 per cent of Kenya's mid-level health workers, an anchor of the Taifa Care Model and UHC. Already, 11,058 students have reported, with 22,000 set to graduate by December, bolstering both national and global health workforces," Duale stated.
