🚨 **🚑 BESTER EMS – IMPORTANT CONTROL ROOM UPDATE (PLEASE READ & SHARE) 🚨**

Good day everyone,

For many years, **083 207 1944** was known as Wesley’s personal number.
That has now changed.

📱 **083 207 1944 is now permanently part of the BESTER EMS CONTROL ROOM.**

This number is no longer personal — it is now a **dedicated emergency control room line**, handled by trained dispatch staff.

💡 **What this means for you:**
When you call or WhatsApp this number, you are now directly connected to a **full control room team** who can:
• Take your emergency details immediately
• Pinpoint and understand the situation quickly
• Dispatch the **nearest ambulance or towing unit without delay**
• Coordinate help properly and efficiently

⚡ This change is all about **faster response and better emergency coordination**.

❗ **Important:**
This number is no longer handled by Wesley. It is now strictly a **control room emergency line**.
