Devolution Conference 2023

EMKF participated in the recently concluded Devolution Conference, where we had the privilege to connect with leaders representing different County Governments. During these interactions, we shared insights into our ongoing initiatives and our progress thus far. We also explored collaborative strategies to work towards establishing a unified Emergency Healthcare System in Kenya. This vision aims to seamlessly integrate the individual emergency healthcare systems of all 47 counties, ultimately working as a cohesive whole to save lives.
