KMTC Meru Campus History
The Campus was established in 1979 as a School of Nursing and was mandated to train Kenya Enrolled Community Health Nursing (pre-service certificate) course. In 1987, the need for expansion arose and another School of Medical Engineering was established to train technicians for maintenance of medical equipment. Initially the two schools operated independently and were drawing funds from the Ministry of Health.
Following the enactment of the Act of Parliament for KMTC, the two schools were merged in 1993 with the aim of cutting down the operational costs thus the formation of KMTC – Meru Campus.
In 1999, the Nursing department was upgraded to train Diploma in Kenya Registered Community Health Nursing (KRCHN) and the pre-service certificate course was phased- out. The department also admitted Enrolled Nurses (In-Service Certificate holders) to train and upgrade to diploma level.
In September 2006, Clinical Medicine and Surgery was introduced and in September 2008, Diploma in Medical Laboratory Sciences was started.
