Tshwane ambulance service reinstated
The ambulance service was put out of action for some two weeks, due to procedural requirements.
The Tshwane emergency services department’s ambulance service is back on the road after the Gauteng health department granted a temporary operating licence.
The ambulance service was put out of action for some two weeks, due to procedural requirements. Only the Gauteng emergency management services could render such services in the city during that time.
Tshwane ESD spokesperson Charles Mabaso said the licence would be valid until the end of January 2021.
“Residents may report life-threatening emergencies on our 107 toll-free number from a cellular phone or landline,” he said.
“The Tshwane emergency service is committed to the synergy in the execution of its operations, governance and interventions in an integrated manner to protect life and property during emergencies and disasters and make the city safe and disaster resilient.”
Administrator for compliance Lebogang Mahanye has welcomed the reinstatement of the emergency medical/ambulance service.
“We have been providing excellent medical and ambulance services for years with professionalism and the granting of the temporary operating licence until the end of January next year, provides us with the opportunity to continue igniting excellence,” she said.
