PHOTC today on 17th August 2026 conducted an induction session for examination invigilators ahead of the August 2026 Professional Examinations Series. The session focused on examination procedures, invigilator responsibilities, integrity, confidentiality, professionalism and strict adherence to the Council's examination guidelines and policies. This is in line with the Council's commitment to maintaining a credible, fair and secure professional examination process. PHOTC wishes all candidates success as they undertake their professional examinations.

I would still advise someone to study a Certificate or Diploma or BSc In Public Health. 😃

Kenya Green Health Guidelines 2026

Replying to Rael, Mnataka yPHOs watoe pesa wapi kaa wewe ukipata opportunity to recognise your own, you reward and honour CHAs and blame PHOs for not working or being drunkards or being lazy? I always talk about yPHOs because in Latin we say "ndithya ite tusau nikathela!". When you retire who will replace you if you never mentored yPHOs? Actually yPHOs ulilea ndio huchanga uwekewe retirement party. Nimebakisha just 1 month as a yPHO but even after I no longer consider myself as a yPHO I will always rally yPHOs to know their worth and sacrifice for their Bora Afya army. Ongea na yPHOs wachange ukiwaelewa. - 70% yPHOs are unemployed or underemployed

Kindly support Kevin Shikuku. 🙏🏿
