Taxi-hailing app Little has partnered with St John Ambulance to allow users to request ambulances from its service as part of expanded offerings.
The emergency ambulance services, under the Little Transport category, will enable Little customers to request for ambulance services and get connected to a St John Ambulance dispatcher who will coordinate the emergency response with the ambulance crew.
The crew will only need to use one live map to direct them to the emergency scene, which reduces time spent consulting the customer over the phone or use of different maps," said Fred Majiwa, head of programme, business development and communications at St John Ambulance Kenya.
"This service also helps enhance our management of Covid-19 cases, which we are currently attending to free of charge, as part of our CSR as St John Ambulance Kenya."
