Rapid stabilization and triage with 24Hrs emergency care.
We seek to transform emergency medical response and post crash care along Kenya’s highway transport corridors. We represent a transformation towards achieving Kenya’s national health and safety goals as we bench mark with UK emergency response services.
Where crushes occur often along Kenyan highways, the typical response is a gathering crowd- bystanders who cannot stop internal bleeding, manage an obstructed airway or stabilize a fractured spine.
Emergency services are too few ,too far and too slow for the corridors where crashes concentrate.
