Joktan Tanui and Japheth Kemoi, two Kenyan entrepreneurs based in the United States, have made significant strides in connecting Kenyan nurses with employment opportunities abroad through their innovative venture, the Central Nurses Staffing Agency.
Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Kansas, the agency has successfully facilitated the placement of over 119 nurses in various hospitals across the United States, addressing the critical shortage of healthcare professionals in the country. The agency's operational model is centred around a comprehensive approach that encompasses recruitment, certification, deployment, and personnel management. Tanui and Kemoi actively seek out qualified nurses and ensure they receive the necessary training and certification to meet the stringent requirements of the US healthcare system.
Once certified, these nurses are strategically deployed to partner hospitals based on their specific needs and demands. The hospitals, in turn, compensate the agency for the services provided by the nurses, allowing Tanui and Kemoi to ensure their personnel are fairly remunerated for their expertise and dedication. Despite the impressive success of their venture, the demand for skilled nurses in the United States remains high. Recognizing this persistent need, Tanui and Kemoi are actively exploring new avenues to bridge the gap. Their vision extends beyond the borders of the United States as they seek to tap into the vast talent pool of healthcare professionals in their home country of Kenya.
By sponsoring the immigration process for these nurses, the duo aims to create a pathway for Kenyan healthcare workers to contribute their expertise to hospitals in need, both in the United States and potentially in Europe. Kemoi expresses their commitment to this cause, stating, "We want to venture into getting nurses from Kenya because we know there is a huge shortage of nurses, especially here in the US and Europe. We want to tap into the talent pool back home to bridge those gaps."
This statement highlights the agency's dedication to finding innovative solutions to the global nursing shortage while simultaneously providing opportunities for Kenyan healthcare professionals to advance their careers on an international stage. It is worth noting that the training requirements for nurses in the United States vary depending on the specific role and level of certification. For instance, Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) typically undergo a one-month training course before being deployed to healthcare facilities. However, the agency also recognizes the value of certified nurses who have pursued advanced education, including those with Masters-level qualifications, and it seeks to create opportunities for these highly skilled professionals as well.
The work of Joktan Tanui and Japheth Kemoi, through the Central Nurses Staffing Agency, represents a significant step forward in addressing the global nursing shortage while fostering international collaboration and creating opportunities for Kenyan healthcare professionals.

Hate mongering is your specialty. Congratulations
No one in their right mind is interested in being around old people 24 7 that is why there will forever be a shortage In the US and other developed countries .They detest growing old and are only interested in caring for their pets who love them unconditionally aka do not talk back unlike old people always grumbling about this or the other or sick individuals who gripe about everything.There is a market if you do not mind looking after strangers.Most of these folks are aging and their kin would rather look after their pets than them.
Kalejingas of course. Facilitating collapse of healthcare in Africa.
The American government needs to train its own nurses. They can afford it.
Shame on the American government. Facilitating nurse shortages in countries that lack adequate medical personnel.
Shame on them.
