The Western Cape Department of Health has
joined forces with several organisations to raise concerns around safety of
ambulance personnel and other health workers.
MEC of Health Theuns Botha said the recent
spate of attacks on Emergency Medical Services personnel include staff being
held at gunpoint and robbed of expensive lifesaving equipment.
Ministerial Spokesperson Helene Rossouw
said that the Western Cape Health MEC Theuns Botha said he will be meeting with
the EMS management to discuss
possible options that would dissolve their risk situation.
“We will not allow a situation that will
continue to put our staff at risk,” added Rossouw.
