About Us
Rapha Medical Supplies Limited (Rapha Medical) is private company that specializes in the provision of Emergency Health Solutions. Rapha’s mission is to bring Emergency and Diagnostic health care closer to people to reduce the mortality rate associated with inaccessibility to emergency and diagnostic health services to Zero. This is the reason for Rapha’s existence and everything we do is aimed at realizing this Mission. Our Mission is driven by the dilapidated state of Kenya’s health services which is characterized by the following:
- Ill equipped health facilities and low level capacity for emergency services.
- Centralized location of health facilities usually in urban centres. This forces rural folk to travel great distances just to access health services. In the case of an emergency, such patients may end up dying on their way to these health centres.
- The cost of health services remains prohibitive to the majority of rural folks.
- Low awareness about the symptoms of and the management of dangerous ailments/conditions such as cancer, diabetes and high blood pressure. The diagnosis of such ailments as cancer is predominantly done by private foundations that offer very costly services.
Rapha Medical’s Service Offering
In response to these challenges, Rapha Medical offers 3 main categories of health solutions:
- Emergency equipment
- Capacity building solutions
- Other products and services

- Accident and Emergency (A&E) equipment: In addition to our ambulance offering, we also provide A&E supplies to hospitals and health centers.
