The Mombasa County Government has unveiled a new initiative to sponsor medical training for 12 students with guaranteed employment upon graduation in what is a historic first in the county.
Speaking at a press conference on Sunday, July 20, Governor Abdulswamad Sheriff Nassir announced that his government had, for the first time, come up with a framework to transform the medical field in the county. "For the first time, the County of Mombasa will have a mechanism to enable its students to study medicine.
Before, they had to study medicine outside the country," the governor revealed.
Under the new initiative, two students, a male and a female, would be selected from each of the six constituencies in Mombasa and enrolled in a medical training program in partnership with the Technical University of Mombasa (TUM).
