The Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) has moved to reassure prospective students and their families that the ongoing March intake is fully secure, with all admissions handled strictly through authorised channels.
The institution emphasized that no individual can influence placement or services in exchange for money, warning against fraud and misinformation that often spike during admission periods.
Successful applicants are expected to report to their respective campuses at the end of the month. KMTC currently operates 92 campuses and five satellite centres nationwide, making it one of the largest medical training institutions in the region.
