When Well Established Public Emergency Departments Don’t Exist, We Build Them.

We are excited to support the Kwale County Government in the renovation of the Emergency Department at the Msambweni Teaching and County Referral Hospital.

The upgraded Emergency Department will expand capacity and be fully equipped to ensure that patients in critical condition receive timely, life-saving care.

The project also includes training emergency healthcare workers, ensuring that lifesaving skills and knowledge are readily available where they are needed most.

At EMKF, we’re partnering with county governments, such as Kwale, to ensure that when someone reaches the hospital in an emergency, their care is managed in a well-functioning Emergency Department — equipped, staffed, and ready to save lives.

Because no one should die after reaching the very place meant to save them.

In an emergency, trying to get to the hospital on time is a terrifyingly lonely journey.

You hope. You pray. You hold on — watching the road blur through tears, praying the hospital isn’t too far and that help will be waiting when you arrive.

This is the reality for thousands of families across Kenya every day.
But it doesn’t have to be.

At the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF), we’re working with governments to build a coordinated emergency healthcare system — one where help comes when you call and takes care of you.

Because in an emergency, you shouldn’t have to struggle to reach help — help should reach you.

When well-functioning public Emergency Departments (EDs) don’t exist, patients die waiting for help.

Overcrowded rooms, limited equipment, and exhausted staff doing their best with what little they have are the realities in many public EDs across Kenya today. At EMKF, we’re working with governments to build and strengthen public EDs to save lives.

Because a healthcare system that can’t respond to emergencies cannot save lives.

When emergency services don’t exist, communities become their own first responders.

They lift, carry, and pray — because there’s no one else to call, and no flashing lights or sirens racing to help like you’ve seen on TV.

This is the reality for over 12,000 Kenyans every year who are injured in road traffic crashes...especially on the weekends.

Because emergencies don’t wait — they kill.

When public ambulance services don’t exist, emergencies become tragedies.

Every minute matters — but for too many mothers across Kenya, help never comes.

At the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF), we’re working with governments to build a future where emergency medical care is accessible to everyone — where trained responders, public ambulances, and public emergency departments stand ready to save lives when it matters most.

Because no woman should die bringing life into the world.

Mother Teresa once said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”

At the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF), that philosophy guides our mission — strengthening Kenya’s emergency healthcare system one emergency department, one ambulance service, and one community health worker at a time.

This quarter, one of those small steps became a national turning point, as we work alongside the national government to establish a nationwide emergency healthcare system that ensures every Kenyan can access life-saving care when it’s needed most.

The Trans Nzoia County Government has completed setting up an Emergency Medical Dispatch Centre at Wamalwa Kijana Teaching and Referral Hospital, paving the way for faster ambulance response across the county.

The centre, established with support from the Emergency Medicine Kenya Foundation (EMKF), will be accessible through a toll-free number, 0800724994, allowing residents to report incidents and request rescue services.

County teams underwent training from September 15 to October 4, led by EMKF experts. The facility will use the Ambulensi App to track emergencies, identify patient locations, and deploy the nearest ambulance while coordinating with security and fire response units.

Governor George Natembeya commissioned the county’s Emergency Medical Care Plan in May, marking what officials say is a major milestone in strengthening local healthcare.
