Real-World Case Studies from Kenya

  • Emergency Response Time Reduction in Nairobi 2025
    Rescue.co (Flare)

    Rescue.co implemented the Flare digital dispatch platform to coordinate a network of over 800 ambulances across Kenya. The system allows workplace responders and individuals to bypass fragmented dispatch systems and connect directly to the nearest available emergency medical team.

    Average emergency response times in urban areas like Nairobi were reduced from over 160 minutes to approximately 13 minutes, significantly increasing the survival rate for cardiac and trauma patients receiving immediate first aid.

  • First Aid for First Responders Initiative 2025
    Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS)

    The KRCS launched a targeted training program for high-risk community sectors, including Boda Boda (motorcycle taxi) riders and traders in Garissa, to act as the first line of response in areas with delayed professional medical access.

    Trained over 60 community members in a single pilot to manage breathing assessments, CPR, and bleeding control, bridging the gap between incident occurrence and hospital arrival in the North Eastern region.
