    "content": "to Kenyans while minimising the risk to themselves, to the patient, to other personnel and other road users. The key interventions are: 1. Development of a standardised curriculum for training of the drivers. 2. Establishment of a standardised framework for regulation, licensing and continuous professional development of emergency ambulance drivers. 3. Institution of norms and standards for staffing at all levels of emergency care. The Ministry intends to roll out a holistic programme to enhance capacity of motorcycle riders, institution drivers, matatu and lorry drivers on basic first aid and triage, which we have called Afya Barabarani. There will be training and equipping of CHPs on first aid and joint emergency inter-operability principles, that is, linking services together. The Ministry plans to establish a command-and-control centre that is linked to ambulance dispatch centres, fire departments, police and all emergency support functions. A toll-free number is to be provided to all sectors for emergency calls. In 2019, the Kenya Bureau of Standards, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, developed minimum ground ambulance requirements. Compliance with those detailed requirements promotes safety for ambulance drivers and all ambulance passengers. In conclusion, the Ministry of Health is committed to delivering quality health services to all Kenyans. This includes the safety and wellbeing of healthcare personnel, including ambulance drivers. While a lot remains to be done, the Ministry is committed to delivering quality training, registration, licensing and continuous professional development. Hon. Speaker and Hon. Members, I submit. Thank you."
