An emergency medical centre worth 12 million Rands has been built close to what’s known “road of death” in Leeu-Gamka near Beaufort West.

The emergency service centre is aimed at providing 24-hour emergency medical response and rescue assistance to the surrounding communities and was opened by MEC for health Theuns Botha.

Spokesperson for the department, Helene Roussouw said they will also be training volunteers first aid.

The new ambulance station also provides a full infrastructure including a waiting room for patients, accommodation for relief crews from outside of the Karoo and a space for the landing of the rescue helicopters when required.
