The Kenya Medical Training (KMTC), in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Gradian Health Systems, on Wednesday July 28, 2021 launched a Kshs 14 million Simulation Laboratory to train health workers for the country.

The laboratory, the first of its kind in a Public Medical Training Institution, will help Kenya churn out critical care health workers needed in the fight against emerging diseases like the COVID-19 pandemic.

Acting Director-General of Health Dr. Patrick Amoth lauded KMTC, noting that such innovations in training will strengthen healthcare provision across the counties.

He reported that Kenya has 1,200 critical healthcare workers with 20 critical care intensivists and 200 physician anesthesiologists.

“This facility is coming in handy to train healthcare providers and students to increase critical care workforce for better health service delivery,” he said.

The laboratory includes a mock Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and operating theatre in which routine and complex clinical cases can be performed under the guidance of KMTC specialized trainers.

It is fitted with a Comprehensive Care Ventilator (CCV) as well as Universal Anaesthesia Machine (UAM), several mannequins, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) bed, patient monitors, oxygen cylinders and accessories, machines to simulate different types of breathing, airway kits, and other devices, accessories, and consumables that help simulate a real clinical environment.
