Welcome back to the 120 Podcast.

This is Part 2 and a continuation of last week’s episode in our series exploring “Redefining the Paramedic: Kenya’s Journey Toward Clinical Identity.”

In this episode, “Building the Foundations of Emergency Care in Kenya,” we take a step back and look at the wider emergency care system — asking what is needed to create an accessible, sustainable and clinically capable EMS system across Kenya.

From funding and access to emergency care, to the current state of paramedicine, infrastructure limitations, system gaps and the challenges facing the EMS workforce, we explore some of the key issues shaping the future of emergency care in Kenya.

Joining us for this important conversation are four fantastic guests:

🇰🇪 George Amolo

Co-founder & Acting President of the Paramedic Association of Kenya (TPAK)

🇰🇪 Jeffrey Tindi

Bringing his perspective on paramedicine, emergency care and the development of the profession in Kenya.

🇰🇪 Wangechi King

Sharing her experience as a final year student and perspective on the evolving role of paramedics and the future of emergency care.

🇰🇪 Blessing Atetwe Kwamboka

A recent BSc Paramedic graduate, bringing the perspective of the next generation of Kenyan paramedics.

Together, we explore an important question:

What needs to change to build a stronger, more accessible and sustainable emergency care system in Kenya — and where does the paramedic fit within that future?

This conversation looks beyond the ambulance itself and considers the wider foundations required to support emergency care.

This is more than a conversation about ambulances.

It is a conversation about people, systems, professional identity and the future of emergency care.
