Rescue.co was founded (2016) from the recognized need that emergency response must be accessible to everyone, everywhere. At the time, the average response time in Nairobi was 162 minutes (in comparison, in New York it is only 8 minutes), and in most parts of Kenya outside urban areas, it could take days. Getting help within the first hour, dubbed the “golden hour” of care, saves lives and prevents disability.
Today, rescue.co has completed over fifty thousand rescue missions, and response time is counted in minutes not hours. Rescue.co has solved the ‘golden hour’ problem with its technology, network approach, and service excellence.
We now provide medical response - both ground ambulances and air evacuation - as well as roadside assistance, including towing, recovery, and security.
Rescue’s technology, the Flare Platform, is built for first responders like ambulance drivers, security officers, towing providers or helicopter pilots. It connects those in an emergency to thousands of first response services with one tap of a button or one phone call. Rescue.co uses this in-house purpose-built technology to intelligently manage an emergency from start to finish, ensuring that every step is optimized and closely monitored, and that the right responders are dispatched to arrive in the optimal time.
Rescue.co partners with qualified aircraft, ambulances, and roadside rescue teams in the region to assemble the widest nation-wide and regional network of responders. This allows us to dispatch the closest and most suitable responders for each incident, ensuring that traffic, long distances, hard to access areas or simultaneous emergencies never stand in the way of swift and effective care.
At Rescue.co, our commitment to service excellence is unmatched. We ensure that every responder is highly trained and certified, working seamlessly within our integrated approach to rescues. With access to a full spectrum of resources - from aircraft to ambulances and roadside assistance - our expert medical dispatch team delivers immediate, over-the-phone guidance, ensuring the best possible care in every situation.
