🚑 EMS personnel often respond in circumstances most people would run from.

These moments are a reminder that Emergency Medical Services are more than ambulances; they are people who continue to respond during crises, uncertainty, and danger to help patients reach emergency medical care.

“Improving Outcomes, Together” also means recognising the courage, commitment, and humanity of all emergency responders across Kenya.

Through Ambulensi, Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation is strengthening public ambulance services by improving dispatch coordination, workforce capacity, quality of emergency medical care and the integration of public emergency healthcare systems to save lives

To EMS personnel everywhere — thank you for continuing to respond when every second matters.

This quarter, Kisii County, Baringo County Government, and Kericho Counties completed their Emergency Medical Care Plans, while Mombasa County Government. officially launched its County Emergency Dispatch Center, powered by Ambulensi, to strengthen coordinated public ambulance services and improve access to timely emergency medical care.

Q1 also saw the inaugural Ambulensi EMS Conference, continued support to public ambulance services and emergency departments, healthcare provider training, and the publication of GIS research on access to public emergency departments in Kenya.

👩🏽‍⚕️ International Nurses Day

Our Nurses. Our Future. Empowered Nurses Save Lives.

Today, we honor the nurses who stand at the heart of emergency medical care — calmly assessing, prioritizing, stabilizing, and responding when every second matters.

In emergency departments, ambulances, and communities across Kenya, nurses are often the first to recognize danger, the first to act, and the constant presence that holds emergency response together.

But nurses cannot save lives alone.

Strong emergency healthcare systems are essential to enabling nurses to deliver timely, high-quality care. That means functional emergency departments, coordinated ambulance services, clear clinical protocols, lifesaving equipment, ongoing training, and systems designed to support rapid decision-making during emergencies.

At Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation, we are working to strengthen emergency healthcare systems because when nurses are empowered, emergency healthcare systems become stronger. And when emergency healthcare systems work, lives are saved.

Today, we celebrate the skill, compassion, resilience, and leadership of nurses everywhere. Thank you for the lives you save every day.

🚑 Emergency response does not end at dispatch.

For public ambulance services to work, ambulance crews also need tools that support response in the field.

In March, Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation launched the Ambulensi EMS Operations App, extending coordinated Emergency Medical Services directly to ambulance crews.

Through the app, EMS personnel can receive dispatch assignments, navigate to incidents and facilities, document patient care during transport, and access EMS Protocols and SOPs, including offline in areas with limited or unstable network coverage.

It also enables counties to generate reports on response times, ambulance utilisation, and case management, supporting data-driven decision-making, accountability, and continuous improvement across public ambulance services.

🚑 No one should have to rely on luck in a medical emergency.

As highlighted in the Nation article, the difference between survival and loss can lie in the gaps between dispatch, ambulance readiness, trained personnel, and the receiving facility. When ambulances are unequipped, personnel are unsupported, and facilities are not ready, emergency medical care is delayed before it even begins.

This is why our mission is to support governments and emergency healthcare providers across Kenya to save lives by strengthening emergency healthcare systems. Ambulensi, developed and powered by EMKF, has been designed to strengthen public ambulance services across Kenya by providing:

✅ Real-time dispatch coordination
✅ GPS tracking of ambulances
✅ Access to EMS Protocols and SOPs
✅ Patient care documentation during transport
✅ Referral coordination to the appropriate facility
✅ Offline functionality in areas with limited or unstable network coverage

We believe in a future where every emergency call leads to action, and every patient has a real chance of reaching care in time.

Kenya’s emergency response reveals stark inequalities between life-saving readiness and neglect.

🚑 Coordination turns emergencies into action.

Before, emergency response in Mombasa was fragmented. Calls were not centrally managed, ambulance movements were inconsistent, and hospitals were not always prepared to receive patients.

In February, Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation supported the Department of Health Services - Mombasa County, to set up the Mombasa County Emergency Dispatch Centre, powered by Ambulensi, transforming how emergencies are received, managed, and responded to in the county.

Now, emergency calls trigger a structured response, with ambulances deployed efficiently and patients directed to the right facility.

This is what stronger Emergency Medical Services look like in practice.

🚑 A game changer for emergency medical services in Kenya

Elgeyo Marakwet County’s new Emergency Dispatch Centre is more than an infrastructure milestone, it is a technology-driven shift in how emergency medical care is delivered by County Governments.

At the heart of this transformation is real-time ambulance coordination, supported by our Ambulensi Platform.

Through Ambulensi, the system can:
• Receive and triage emergency calls
• Track ambulances live across the county
• Identify and dispatch the nearest available ambulance
• Connect responders directly with health facilities

This replaces fragmented responses with a connected, data-driven system, where decisions are faster, coordination is clearer, and accountability is built in to save lives.

We at Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation, are proud to support the County Government of Elgeyo Marakwet in implementing this system, strengthening emergency healthcare services with technology that works when every minute counts.

🚑 Before 2024, emergency response in Turkana County was fragmented.

Calls were not centrally coordinated, ambulances operated in isolation, and patients often arrived at facilities without a system ready to receive them.

With the launch of the Turkana County Dispatch Centre in 2024, that changed.

Calls, ambulances, and hospitals became connected in real time, bringing structure, coordination, and accountability to emergency response. Since its launch, the Dispatch Centre has coordinated thousands of emergency cases, ensuring patients were reached, transported, and connected to emergency medical care when it mattered most.

We were proud at EMKF to have worked together with the County Government of Turkana with support from our partners at Polish Aid and Leczymy z Misją / Treating with a Mission to contribute to this progress through our Ambulensi program.

This is what we mean when we say we support governments and emergency healthcare providers across Kenya to save lives by strengthening the emergency healthcare system.
