Kenyans will soon be able to access free ambulance services anywhere in the country, following an announcement by the Social Health Authority (SHA).
SHA Chief Executive Officer, Mercy Mwangangi, revealed that President William Ruto is expected to officially launch the programme before the end of September.
She said the government will also provide a toll-free number through which citizens can request an ambulance whenever an emergency arises.
Currently, ambulance services cost about Ksh4,500 per trip, a fee that locks out many low-income families from receiving timely medical attention.
