This week, we took another step toward that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In partnership with the Kisumu County Department of Medical Services, Public Health &amp; Sanitation, EMKF facilitated a hands-on ECG training session for healthcare providers at KCRH. This training not only enhanced providers\u2019 capacity to recognize and manage cardiac emergencies but also reinforced our commitment to improving emergency medical care at the facility level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further strengthen cardiac care at the hospital, EMKF also donated a brand-new ECG machine\u2014an essential device for the timely diagnosis and treatment of heart conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The addition of this equipment, paired with targeted training, is a powerful example of our integrated approach: building both the capacity and infrastructure of public emergency departments to improve patient outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are grateful for the collaboration with Kisumu County and proud to be part of a growing movement to ensure that every Kenyan\u2014regardless of location\u2014has access to timely, quality emergency care when they need it most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"block-1a743454-47eb-43ba-9d4e-a8844d414494\"><strong>#StrongerEmergencyCare #EMKFImpact #SavingLives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b507c051 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-25 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/share\/p\/15sBeDLGjc\/\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;border-radius:5px;background-color:#ff0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>READ MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":41580,"parent":0,"template":"","county-section":[55],"issue":[],"class_list":["post-41579","story","type-story","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","county-section-kisumu"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story\/41579","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/story"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/story"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41580"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41579"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"county-section","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/county-section?post=41579"},{"taxonomy":"issue","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emergencymedicinekenya.org\/counties\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issue?post=41579"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
