The government is set to introduce an ambulance service app in the next three months, Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale has revealed.
Speaking during an interview with Citizen TV, Duale claimed that the app, "The emergency chronic and critical illness fund", will be established using taxpayers' money and will offer ambulance services free of charge.
Using the app, according to Duale, Kenyans will be able to request an ambulance, similar to how they do with online taxi apps, which will take them to any hospital free of charge, regardless of where they are.
The app, which will be launched in October, will play a key role in elevating the efficiency of the country's healthcare system, in addition to promoting the Universal Health Coverage goal, according to Duale.
