A word about certificate in community health nursing at MKU

Well, sorry- MKU University does not offer certificate in community health nursing course in Kenya at the time of writing this…what they have is a certificate in community health which is markedly different from the certificate in community health nursing programme.

I’m saying so because with a certificate in community health, you will be involved in roles such as community health worker in an assigned locality and not nursing the way you know it.
