Ruto launches 24-hour national ambulance emergency service

Kenyans can now access emergency response 24 hours a day by dialling 922. In a major overhaul of Kenya's emergency medical response, President William Ruto officially launched the National Ambulance Dispatch Centre which connects over 600 accredited public and private ambulances including emergency fleet from county governments, the Kenya Red Cross, and St John Ambulance into a single digital command system. Under the new arrangement, emergency evacuation and the first 24 hours of emergency care will be free for all Kenyans, regardless of whether they are registered with the SHA.
