摘要

肯尼亚加里萨县是一个拥有流动牧民人口的地理大县,该县利用 WhatsApp 通信平台开发了一种紧急医疗服务(EMS)协调方法。这项工作以实地考察为基础,旨在更好地了解和描述加里萨县紧急医疗服务通信系统的当前运行情况、优势和不足。WhatsApp 在加里萨县的使用似乎在当地环境下运行良好,并有可能成为肯尼亚、非洲和其他低收入与中等收入国家其他急救医疗系统的一种具有成本效益的解决方案。

Utilisation of WhatsApp for Emergency Medical Services in Garissa, Kenya

Garissa county, Kenya is a geographically large county with a mobile pastoralist population that has developed a method for emergency medical services (EMS) coordination using the WhatsApp communication platform. This work was based on a site visit, to better understand and describe the current operations, strengths, and weaknesses of the EMS communication system in Garissa. The use of WhatsApp in Garissa county seems to work well in the local context and has the potential to serve as a cost-effective solution for other EMS systems in Kenya, Africa, and other LMICs.
