Ensuring timely, accessible and quality lifesaving emergency care in Kenya
RECENT PROJECTS
Part of our COVID-19 initiatives has been to improve the delivery of oxygen to patients in the emergency department in the county healthcare facilities with the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases across the country.
The Kenya Emergency Medical Care (EMC) Policy 2020-2030 is the first-ever policy in Kenya that seeks to establish a working Emergency Medical Care (EMC) System as a key component of the healthcare system in the country.
Project 47: Emergency Care Centres
The primary objective of Project 47 is to establish standardised public emergency care centres across the 47 counties in Kenya.

Emergency Care talks
Deaths of children in the hospital often occur within the first 24 h of admission. Many of these deaths could be prevented if very sick children were identified and appropriate treatment started immediately upon their arrival at the emergency department. Join our experts this Saturday as we discuss the approach to the sick child in the emergency department.
