Meru KMTC Branch was opened in the year 1979, with an objective of offering a pre service certificate course in Kenya Enrolled Community Health Nursing. It began as a ministry of health’s nursing school.

In the year 1987, the ministry of health Kenya introduced a medica engineering school, whose aim was to produce skilled technical personnel who would help check, maintain and repair medical machines and equipment

In the year 1993, a grand merger occurred between the two schools under the ministry of health were through a KMTC parliament act. This merger formed the modern-day Meru KMTC Branch.
