Another KMTC Campus to be Established in Baringo County
Board Chairman Prof. Philip Kaloki and CEO Prof. Michael Kiptoo have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Baringo County Governor, H.E. Stanley Kiptis on 15th April, 2019, on behalf of the College and County Government respectively.
The MoU covers KMTC Kabarnet, which is currently the only campus in Baringo County, and any other campuses that might be started in the County in future. It spells out obligations of the two institutions, to enhance training of health professionals and address human resource gaps that exist in the County’s health sector.
Speaking during the ceremony, Governor Kiptis lauded the move as one that would be instrumental in addressing the persistent human resource gaps in the County’s health sector. “Health care is a priority area for my County Government and we have allocated sufficient resources to strengthen the health sector,” Governor Kiptis said adding “With 231 health facilities in the County, it is paramount that we should train sufficient manpower to provide health services.”
Prof. Kaloki assured the Governor that “This MoU cements our working relationship and ensures that we are all doing our part to achieve the objective of strengthening the health systems in Baringo County.”
Echoing the Chairman’s sentiments, CEO Prof. Michael Kiptoo added that “This Memorandum of Understanding provides an opportunity for us to work closely together.”
