The Western Cape Health Department says it won’t suspend
paramedic services to crime hot spots, despite a spate of attacks on emergency
crews.
This year so far,
there have been more than 30 incidents in which paramedics have been attacked
in Cape Town.
Earlier this week,
two paramedics were ambushed while responding to an emergency in Blackheath.
One of them was stabbed.
Health MEC,
Nomafrench Mbombo, says the department has allocated at least R185 million towards
the protection of medical workers, patients and facilities.
