We are excited to share EMKF’s Q1 2026 Impact Report, highlighting the progress made in strengthening emergency healthcare systems across Kenya to save lives.
This quarter, Kisii, Baringo, and Kericho Counties completed their Emergency Medical Care Plans, while Mombasa County officially launched its County Emergency Dispatch Centre, powered by Ambulensi, to strengthen coordinated public ambulance services and improve access to timely emergency medical care. Watch this video to see how it all works, from receiving emergency calls to coordinating ambulances and connecting patients to care when every second matters.
EMKF also convened the inaugural Ambulensi EMS Conference, bringing together national and county governments, EMS providers, training institutions, private sector actors, and development partners to advance coordinated Emergency Medical Services in Kenya.
A key message from the conference was clear: stronger Emergency Medical Services are not only about ambulances, but about coordinated systems that connect communities, dispatch centres, ambulances, and emergency departments.
In Q1, EMKF supported:
- 6 public ambulance services
- 5 public emergency departments
- Training for 174 healthcare providers
EMKF also published GIS research on access to public emergency departments in Kenya and, through Casualty Live!, engaged 448 healthcare providers in practical, case-based learning sessions designed to strengthen emergency medical care knowledge and clinical decision-making.
As emergency healthcare systems continue to grow across counties, EMKF remains focused on strengthening quality, coordination, functionality, and long-term sustainability.
