Future Vision signs lease contract for new branch in Tabuk
Future Vision for Health Training Co. signed a SAR 19,500 lease agreement with Social Development Bank (SDB) – Jada 30 to rent premises for a new branch in Tabuk. The company said in a Tadawul statement that the one-year contract was signed on July 16. This is the firm's ninth branch overall and second in the Northern Region. The move supports its strategy to expand geographically and increase access to its education and health services across Saudi Arabia. The branch will serve as a training center for accredited health programs, supporting the company's goal to develop a scalable health training model and address nationwide training needs. The branch is expected to begin contributing to operating revenue in Q4 2025, driven by in-person training income and a broader user base in the Northern Region. The company also expects improved operational efficiency, lower travel costs for trainers and trainees, and a stronger position to compete for regional government training contracts. The company noted that the branch currently has no material financial impact, adding that there are no related parties to the deal. Any significant developments will be disclosed in due course, Future Vision added.

Duale Reaffirms Support for Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), Warns Against Unregulated Health Courses
Health Cabinet Secretary Hon. Aden Duale has reaffirmed the Ministry of Health's full support for the Kenya Medical Training College (KMTC), while issuing a strong caution against the unchecked expansion of health-related courses across the country. Speaking during the official opening of the 8th Biennial KMTC Scientific Conference at the institution's headquarters in Nairobi, Hon. Duale stressed that KMTC must remain a centre of excellence focused on producing competent, service-ready professionals. 'KMTC will not offer credentials without competence,' said the Cabinet Secretary. 'We will not allow institutions to become part of the problem. All training programmes must be aligned to the evolving needs of public health in Kenya.' The conference, themed 'Advancing Equity in a Rapidly Changing Environment,' convened stakeholders from the health sector, academia, and research institutions to share innovations and strategies for improving health training and service delivery. The forum is a critical platform in Kenya's ongoing efforts to achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This was Hon. Duale's inaugural visit to KMTC since assuming office as Health Cabinet Secretary. During a consultative meeting with the Board and senior management, he underscored the need for accountability, transparency, and integrity in the training of the country's health workforce. He urged KMTC leadership to continuously review and align course offerings to national health priorities. As part of the visit, Hon. Duale flagged off five double cabin vehicles to be distributed across five KMTC campuses. The vehicles are expected to ease student access to clinical training sites, enhance supervision, and support community-based service delivery. Hon. Duale was hosted by KMTC Board Chairperson Mr. Joseah Cheruiyot, Chief Executive Officer Dr. Kelly Oluoch, and Director General for Health Dr. Patrick Amoth.
