From March 2023, Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) will be offering a diploma course in Mortuary Science.

The school announced that the course is the first ever in East and Central Africa. Students willing to take the course will have to apply through the official students application portal.

The requirements for the course are a KCSE mean grade of C-. The course will take three years and those who already have a certificate in mortuary training from reputable institutions will join the others in the second year.

The curriculum for the new course was developed in conjunction with stakeholders from the ministry of health, University of Nairobi, JKUAT, and Masinde Muliro university.

Applications for the March intake are ongoing.
