Book Aid International CEO Visits KMTC, Pledges 10,000 Books
The two institutions enjoy a long-standing partnership that has seen the College receive millions worth of book donations to support medical training across its campuses.
Speaking during the engagement, the Deputy Director, Academics, Dr. Nyawira Mwangi, on behalf of the CEO, Dr. Kelly Oluoch, praised the partnership, noting its significant contribution to the College’s ability to deliver quality training.
“We have continued to receive the latest editions of textbooks, which have greatly improved student research and learning outcomes,” Dr. Nyawira said.
She emphasized that physical books remain central to medical training, even as digital resources continue to expand.
“Physical textbooks allow students to read deeply, reflect, and develop the critical thinking skills required for complex clinical decision-making,” she noted, adding that this ultimately translates into improved patient care.
Dr. Nyawira expressed appreciation for the continued support, saying the College remains deeply grateful for the partnership.
Ms. Tweed commended KMTC’s commitment to quality training, describing it as one of the institution’s strongest pillars. She also applauded the College’s equitable distribution of books across its campuses, including those in rural areas.
“For those reasons, among others, I am pleased to pledge an additional donation of 10,000 new medical books to the College this year. We want to ensure that newer campuses receive increased access to these resources,” Ms. Tweed said.
Coordinated by the Senior Chief Principal Lecturer and Head of Institutional Advancement, Dr. Jebichi Maswan, the partnership ensures that donated medical textbooks reach students in both urban and rural campuses, where access to up-to-date learning materials remains a challenge.
