About Nurse In Hand

A social enterprise transforming emergency healthcare delivery in Kenya, one life at a time.

Who We Are

A social enterprise dedicated to saving lives and serving communities

Nurse In Hand Emergency Response is a social enterprise (not-for-profit organization) established to address the critical healthcare crisis in Kenya. We are not a company seeking profits, but a mission-driven organization committed to saving lives.

We deploy qualified trauma doctors and emergency medical teams directly to high-risk highway segments, serving as immediate first responders to road traffic accidents. Beyond emergency response, we provide essential healthcare services to local communities and nearby residents through our strategically positioned centers.

Our services include emergency rescue, outpatient care, medications, and 24-hour pharmacy services for communities along the Northern Corridor and surrounding areas.
