The Social Health Authority (SHA) has announced that it is in the process of introducing free ambulance services across the country.
Speaking during a public event, the authority's CEO, Mercy Mwangagi, claimed that President William Ruto will launch the service by the end of September.
Mwangangi said that the government will also roll out a telephone number through which Kenyans can access the ambulance services, regardless of where they are.
According to Mwangangi, ambulance services cost about Ksh4,500 and the authority will cover that cost in addition to all the medical expenses that will be incurred in the hospital in the first 24 hours.
