Assured Mr Chapagain of Kenya’s commitment to continue working with the Red Cross to strengthen the response to emergencies across our region.

More than 307 million people across Africa experienced hunger in 2024. Together, we must move beyond managing crises and invest in durable, locally led solutions.

Together with His Majesty, we are committed to championing African-led solutions.

The Social Health Authority is working alongside Eplus Medical Services in advancing the National Ambulance Dispatch Centre initiative, a significant milestone in strengthening Kenya’s emergency medical services system.@EMS_Kenya
SHA Rallies Partners for Faster Emergency Care
The National Ambulance Dispatch Centre (NADC) is geared to transform emergency response by unifying coordination among county governments, healthcare providers, regulators and emergency responders.
Inspected the National Ambulance Dispatch Centre at the Social Health Authority (SHA) Headquarters in Nairobi to assess its operational readiness ahead of its official launch later this month.
Now over 90% complete, the Centre marks a significant step in strengthening our emergency medical services under the Taifa Care Model and the Government's Universal Health Coverage (UHC) agenda.
Dubbed the SHA 112 Lifeline, the Centre will provide a fully coordinated 24-hour emergency medical dispatch service through a single national response platform.
So far, 97 KMPDC-accredited ambulances have been empanelled into the system, with 186 already registered and more expected to join as coverage expands nationwide.
The Centre is equipped with advanced digital systems that support emergency call triage, ambulance dispatch, real-time incident management and seamless coordination with health facilities through the National Health Information Exchange.
A team of 40 dispatch personnel, including medical officers, doctors and customer care agents, has also undergone specialized training to ensure efficient, professional and patient-centred emergency response.
Once operational, the National Ambulance Dispatch Centre will enhance response times, improve coordination of emergency services and connect patients to the nearest appropriate health facilities, ensuring timely access to lifesaving care for all Kenyans.
I was joined by Principal Secretary for Medical Services Dr Ouma Oluga, Digital Health Agency(DHA) CEO Eng. Anthony Lenayara at a brief event hosted by the Social Health Authority (SHA) CEO, Dr. Mercy Mwangangi.
