China will offer Kenyan students 500 scholarships in a new partnership that is set to boost the local health sector, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has said.
Duale also said that the Chinese government will engage Kenya in 20 annual exchange programmes meant to enhance the training of students in the local health sector.
In a statement on Monday, June 9, the Health CS said the initiatives will be fundamental in securing a solid future for the country's health leadership, in addition to reinforcing the overall capacity of the healthcare workforce.
However, the minister has not explained when the programmes are expected to start and how those eligible can apply for them.
