We are a leading Emergency Medical Service and Ambulance Coverage service provider. We are operational all round the clock with response times of under 15Mins.
As various parts of Nairobi and Kenya in general continue to experience the heavy downpour, here are tips of how to stay safe. In case of a medical emergency, call us and we'll get to you
The reason the answer surprised him is simple: High BP is a chronic threat, but Low BP is an immediate catastrophe.
In medicine, we triage by the clock.
• High BP (Hypertension): The "Silent Killer." It damages your vessels and organs over decades. It leads to strokes and heart failure, but your body can tolerate a high reading for days without immediate collapse.
• Low BP (Hypotension/Shock): The "Loud Killer." If your blood pressure drops too low, your Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) falls below the threshold required to push blood into your brain, heart, and kidneys.
Without that pressure, your organs don't just get sick..they start to die within minutes due to hypoperfusion.
In the ER, we can wait to treat a BP of 180/100, but a BP of 70/40 is a "Code Blue" level emergency.

We provide comprehensive ambulance services for both long-distance and local evacuations. Our fleet is fully equipped with advanced life support technology, and manned by qualified, licensed paramedics dedicated to ensuring patient stability and comfort throughout the journey.
A woman brought a very limp duck into a veterinary surgeon. As
she laid her pet on the table, the vet pulled out his
stethoscope and listened to the bird's chest.
After a moment or two, the vet
shook his head and sadly said, "I'm sorry, your duck, Cuddles,
has passed away."
The distressed woman wailed,
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am sure. Your duck is dead," replied
the vet..
"How can you be so sure?" she
protested. "I mean you haven't done any testing on him or anything. He might just be in a coma or
something."
The vet rolled his eyes, turned
around and left the room. He returned a few minutes later
with a black Labrador Retriever. As the duck's owner looked on
in amazement, the dog stood on his hind legs, put his
front paws on the examination table and sniffed the duck from
top to bottom. He then looked up at the vet with sad eyes and
shook his head.
The vet patted the dog on the
head and took it out of the room. A few minutes later he
returned with a cat. The cat jumped on the table and also
delicately sniffed the bird from head to foot. The cat sat
back on its haunches, shook its head, meowed softly and
strolled out of the room.
The vet looked at the
woman and said, "I'm sorry, but as I said, this is most
definitely, 100% certifiably, a dead duck."
The vet turned to his computer terminal, hit a few keys and
produced a bill, which he handed to the woman..
The duck's owner, still in shock, took the bill. "$150!" she
cried, "$150 just to tell me my duck is dead!"
The vet shrugged, "I'm sorry. If you had just taken my word for it,
the bill would have been $20, but with the Lab Report and the
Cat Scan, it's now $150."
