Contacting your local Emergency Medical Services directly during a medical emergency is of paramount importance, as it ensures that the patient receives prompt, professional, and appropriate care.

Key reasons include:
1. Faster Emergency Response 🚑

2. Early Medical Intervention
. Airway management
. Oxygen administration
. Bleeding control
. CPR and defibrillation
. Medication administration
Early treatment can significantly improve survival and recovery rates.

3. Proper Patient Assessment

4. Safe Transport to Hospital

5. Communication with the Hospital
Paramedics can alert the receiving hospital in advance, allowing emergency departments to prepare the necessary staff and equipment before the patient arrives.

6. Reduces Risk of Complications
Transporting a critically ill or injured patient in a private vehicle may exacerbate their condition. Ambulances provide continuous monitoring and care, thereby reducing complications.

7. Legal and Professional Documentation
Ambulance services provide clinical documentation and patient reports, which are essential for continuity of care and medical records.

In summary:
Contacting an ambulance directly ensures a quick response, professional care, safe transport, and improved patient outcomes during emergencies.

On Wednesday 28 January 2026 we received a distress call of a lightning strike involving a mother and two children in an informal settlement outside Sasolburg.

After locating the scene we assisted Free State EMS with stabilising a toddler who was carried by the mother when they were struck by lightning. The toddler was transported to a local hospital.

Unfortunately the mother and another 5 year old sibling passed away due to extensive injuries.

We extend our sincerest condolences to the families involved as well as the community.

On 20 December 2025 at approximately 10:00 we responded to a serious motor vehicle accident just outside the Free State town of Petrus Steyn. Our Ambulance crews and Advanced Life Support Paramedic met up with the Free State Department of Health ambulance and immediately jumped into action.

The patient sustained critical injuries requiring a Trauma facility. The decision was made to utilise a medical helicopter to transport the patient.

The Helicopter team from Netcare911 arrived swiftly and continued the critical care of the patient.

It is unfortunate and heartbreaking as we think of the loved ones of the 6 patients that passed away on scene, may you find peace and healing in this difficult time.

We care about you
