A successful medical evacuation done today by the Africa SAFE-T Medical Crew. Around mid-day we received a call of an Elephant attack on an individual in one of our operating reserves. The patient was successfully airlifted where medical specialists were awaiting the patients arrival. #AST #africasafe-t #safariandadventurefocusedemergencyteam #remotemedicine #RemoteRescue #wildernessrescue #wildernessmedicine #helicopter407 #aeromedicalevacuation #HEMS #savelives #ProtectReputations #addvalue

Africa SAFE-T

1 years ago

We convey our shock and sadness at the loss of the fallen heroes that were onboard Netcare 1 (Emergency Medical Helicopter) this afternoon when the helicopter crashed near Bergville, KwaZulu-Natal.

The incident tragically claimed the lives of all that were on board - a NAC pilot, Netcare911 paramedic and a specialised cardiac team from Milpark Hospital that was part of the ECMO Intensive Care Rapid Transfer Team. They were enroute to collect and transfer a critically ill patient to Johannesburg for urgent and specialised care.

The Africa SAFE-T team joins the Netcare Group in standing in silence as we bow our heads in tribute and respect, for the fallen healthcare heroes.

Netcare 1 and her crew have supported our Africa SAFE-T teams in Hoedspruit, Sabi Sand Wildtuin and Madikwe Game Reserve many times over the years by providing rapid air ambulance transport of critical patients to medical facilities in Johannesburg.
They saves many lives across the country.

Our deepest sympathies are with the families and loved ones of our deceased colleagues aboard Netcare 1, and the entire Netcare family.
