At least 200 community health promoters have been trained in first aid by St John Ambulance in Nairobi.

The training sessions were conducted at Kayaba, Kibera DC, Umoja, and Embakasi Village.

Community health promoters play essential role in health education, immediate first aid care, and patient referrals from local communities to health facilities.

By equipping them with lifesaving skills, the initiative strengthens grassroots healthcare and supports the drive toward universal health coverage.

The program was supported by funds raised during the Save a Life Walkathon held in May 2025.

This training will boost community-level response and ensure more lives are saved during emergencies.

Road crash victims are set to benefit from faster and more effective emergency response following a renewed collaboration between the Kenya National Highways Authority (KENHA) and St John Ambulance.

The two institutions met today to discuss joint efforts on post-crash care and highway safety, with a strong emphasis on saving lives within the “golden hour” - the critical first 60 minutes after a crash when quick medical attention can make the difference between life and death.

Key to the plan is the training of boda boda riders, traffic police officers, and other first responders who are often the first at crash scenes. By equipping them with lifesaving skills, more survivors will have a chance to receive immediate care before reaching hospital.

In a major boost to road safety, KENHA will allow the use of road reserves for the construction of 19 mobile first aid posts and four trauma centers at high-risk crash hotspots on major transport corridors. These facilities will provide rapid first aid and stabilization services to victims.

Both parties also agreed to draft a memorandum of understanding to guide the partnership, signaling a long-term commitment to reducing road fatalities and injuries.

According to the World Health Organization, thousands of Kenyans die every year from road crashes, with many lives lost due to delayed emergency response. The new initiative seeks to turn the tide by ensuring victims are not left helpless on highways.

This collaboration gives victims a fighting chance by cutting response times and bringing care closer to crash scenes, to save many lives that would otherwise be lost.

The move marks a significant step in addressing Kenya’s road safety crisis and offers renewed hope for survivors of highway crashes.

A total of 154 boda boda riders operating in Mukuru kwa Reuben, Pipeline Embakasi and Kibera Sarang'ombe were today trained in first aid and emergency response by St John Ambulance.

Together with the 150 riders trained yesterday, Nairobi now has 304 boda boda first responders.

The initiative, funded through the St John's Save a Life Walkathon held in May 2025, has so far reached accident-prone areas including Dagoreti, Outering, Kangundo Road, Mukuru kwa Ruben, Pipeline Embakasi and Kibera Sarang'ombe.

The growing network of trained riders will boost community emergency response and save more lives.

Thousands of lives could be saved on Kenyan roads following new talks between St John Ambulance Kenya and the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to strengthen post-crash emergency response.

At a meeting today September 15, NTSA Road Safety Director Mr. Andrew Kiplangat met St John Ambulance Kenya led by CEO Paul Ngugi, Head of Business Development Fred Majiwa, and Training Manager Anthony Murunga to review gaps in the current system and explore joint solutions.

As part of a new initiative, St John announced plans to upscale its support by dedicating four ambulances for highway crash evacuations, establishing four trauma centres at crash hotspots, and expanding its network of first aid posts from 14 to 19 to strengthen quick response by community volunteers.

The collaboration is expected to cut response times, improve first aid at crash scenes, and ease the burden on hospitals and families.

The two organizations agreed on the need for a Post-Crash Care Coordination Forum and a formal MoU to guide long-term cooperation.

Kenya loses more than 4,000 lives annually to road crashes, with delayed emergency response cited as a key factor. The St John–NTSA partnership is positioned as a lifeline for vulnerable road users across the country.
