The increase was attributed to introduction of medical courses at Kenya Methodist University, University of East Africa, Baraton, Aga Khan University and KU.
“We expect to reduce exodus of the medical personnel by training more people such that even is the private sector picks some, we shall retain a huge chunk of them,” said Prof Kiyapi.
