Plans are in top gear to send more Kenyan nurses to work in the United Kingdom.

The Ministry of Health Tuesday revealed it was making preparations to send the second batch. The first cohort of nurses left the country in June last year following a bilateral agreement between Kenya and Britain signed by retired President Uhuru Kenyatta and UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Principal Secretary of State Department for Public Health and Professional Standards, Mary Muthoni Muriuki said progress is being made in the development of recruitment guidelines for nurses under the Kenya-UK Bilateral Agreement for Collaboration on Healthcare Workforce.

Speaking during a consultation with officials from the Ministry of Health and British High Commission Muriuki, emphasized the purpose of the guideline to streamline the preparation and recruitment process, thereby opening up more opportunities for Kenyan nurses.
