About Kenya Medical Training College KMTC Lodwar Campus

Lodwar Campus is situated in Turkana County, next to Lodwar County and Referral Hospital.

Year of Establishment: October 2000

Inception and Growth:
The idea of building Lodwar Campus was born on 18th February 1984 when H.E. Daniel Toroitich Arap Moi visited Turkana for the first time. He found that there were no local Nurses in Lodwar District Hospital, currently called the Lodwar County and Referral Hospital.
He decreed that a Medical Training College be constructed.
The objective was to produce local personnel to give better Health services to both sedentary and nomadic pastoral communities, Hospitals, Health Centers, Dispensaries, and Health Posts. This includes outreach and mobile Health Care services for pastoral nomadic
communities and settled communities without Health facilities.

The Norwegian Government started laying the foundation for construction on 20th May 1988. The Government of Kenya took over in 1989.
