KMTC Strengthens Global Partnerships Ahead of 94th Graduation Ceremony
The College has today, November 13, 2025, hosted a delegation from the Ministry of Health, led by the Director, Health Sector Coordination and Research, Dr. Omar Ahmed, to lay the groundwork for an upcoming visit by an Angolan delegation, scheduled for December 4 to 8, 2025.
The discussions, chaired by CEO, Dr Kelly Oluoch, represented by the Deputy Director, Finance, Planning and Administration, Ms. Lucy Chebungei, focused on deepening collaboration between Kenya and Angola in health workforce training and development.
With a Government-to-Government Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) already in place, the meeting aimed to prepare for the upcoming visit by identifying key sites for the delegation to tour that showcase the country’s robust healthcare training and service delivery system.
The Angolan delegation’s visit follows a similar engagement in October 2023, when a joint team from Kenya, comprising Ministry of Health officials and a KMTC delegation led by the Board of Directors, visited Angola to explore areas of mutual interest and establish pathways for collaboration in healthcare training and capacity development.
Notably, the Angolan delegation will be among the guests at the KMTC 94th Graduation Ceremony, where the College will graduate over 22,000 well-trained, fit-for-purpose healthcare professionals into the workforce. The ceremony offers the visiting team a firsthand look at Kenya’s robust medical training model and its contribution to the health sector.
Speaking during the meeting, Ms Chebungei highlighted the College’s strengths, noting that a collaboration with Angola would represent “a new level of partnership that blends diplomacy, shared growth, and practical cooperation in healthcare training.”
Angola, with a population of over 36 million, continues to invest in rebuilding and expanding its healthcare sector. Kenya, through KMTC, is strategically positioned to support this effort by leveraging its extensive experience in training health professionals and strengthening primary health systems across the region.
As KMTC prepares to celebrate its 94th graduation and host the Angolan delegation, it continues to strengthen Kenya’s standing as a leader in health education, innovation, and cross-border cooperation, cultivating a workforce ready to transform health systems both locally and globally.
