The Garissa County government on Friday announced a partnership with Emergency Plus Medical Services (E-Plus) to unveil a 24 hour ground ambulance service to residents.

Speaking during the event, Garissa Governor Nathif Jama underscored the importance of the critical service to Garissa residents noting that the county is vast and has a challenging terrain.

He hence stated that the provision of the 24-hour ground ambulance services will come in very handy in easing the prompt transfer of patients in far flung areas to medical facilities.

“When it comes to medical emergencies, we are aware that time is of the utmost importance. Our ground ambulance services are made to answer emergency calls swiftly and evacuate patients to the closest hospital/facility for additional care,” said Governor Jama.

“I guarantee Garissa residents that they will receive the outmost care and attention, because we have state of the art ambulances spread out across the county.”

E-Plus Managing Director Susan Ng’ong’a, on her part, noted that the service was of high significance as it would help in evacuating patients to medical facilities within the shortest time possible while also giving them critical care on transit.

“This is a significant milestone for the people of Garissa County and the Emergency Plus Medical Services (E-Plus), as we continue to expand our reach and provide life-saving emergency medical services across the entire country,” said Ms. Ng’ong’a.
