This article is about the courses offered at the KMTC Bondo campus.

Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Bondo campus is located along the Bondo-Siaya road.

The school first started operations at the Masita Technical Training Center, where it offered only medical recordkeeping and information technology programs.

However, the increasing demand for clinical studies led the District Health Committee to allocate a new site near the Bondo District Hospital. As a result, the main school was established there.

Currently, KMTC Bondo Campus offers 5 courses for students who want to pursue a career in the medical field.
