In a recent incident near Kathu in the Northern Cape, our Emergency Medical Services (EMS) team showcased their expertise in a coordinated emergency response. A mass casualty event involving employees of a well established and large mining company required swift action from various entities, including our EMS team. Lebogang Mongale, an Intermediate Life Support Medic, and Vincent Vilakazi, a Basic Life Support Medic, part of the Life Health Solutions EMS team, played a crucial role in treating victims on the scene and ensuring their timely transport to hospitals.
