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.
肯尼亚加里萨县地域广阔，有流动牧民群体，他们利用WhatsApp通信平台开发了一种紧急医疗服务（EMS）协调方法。这项工作基于一次实地考察，旨在更好地理解和描述加里萨紧急医疗服务通信系统的当前运作情况、优势和劣势。在加里萨县使用WhatsApp在当地背景下似乎效果良好，并且有可能成为肯尼亚、非洲及其他低收入和中等收入国家其他紧急医疗服务系统具有成本效益的解决方案。
