Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC) Webuye Campus was established in 2005 courtesy of the KMTC Board of Directors, the then area Member of Parliament for Webuye Hon. Musikari Kombo, and the local community. The Campus is located in Webuye East.
It was started as an initiative of the community and supported by the CDF website. The local CDF is credited for having funded the construction of all lecture halls and dining halls. Apart from the Webuye Constituency, other development partners include the neighboring Kimilili Constituency. The computer Lab was partially funded by Kimilili CDF and completed by Webuye East CDF.
