A labour migration programme initiated by Mount Kenya University and Germany's Hochschule Koblenz University of Applied Sciences has been lauded as a model project in facilitating the export of labour to the European country.

Through the programme healthcare professionals, who have also been trained on the German language, are taken to Germany where they are absorbed in the country's healthcare sector.
