Patient transfers for Kenya

The right hospital. The right ambulance. No phone chains.

Afyaline connects hospitals and ambulance providers in one live workflow, from finding a bed to confirming the handover.

Kenya's problem is coordination more than capacity.

Today a doctor phones hospital after hospital for a bed, then phones again for an ambulance. Nobody sees the whole journey, so nobody can measure or improve it.

How a transfer works

Four steps, one shared record. These are the real Afyaline screens.

1

Referring hospital

Find a bed in minutes

Describe the patient and the service they need. Hospitals with free beds appear instantly, nearest first. Choose one and send.

2

Receiving hospital

Accept before the patient moves

The receiving team is alerted at once, sees the patient brief and accepts. A decline goes back with a reason, and the next hospital is asked in seconds.

Ambulance provider

Dispatch the right ambulance

The nearest ambulance with the right equipment is requested. The provider confirms the vehicle and driver in one tap.

Everyone

Track it to the door, then hand over

Both hospitals watch the ambulance on the map with the time to arrival. The receiving hospital confirms the handover, and the record is complete.
