Going beyond the call of duty for terminally ill boy.
When seven year old Mohammed was diagnosed with terminal cancer, his parents knew
there was little time left. So they wanted to do something special for him while he was still well
enough to enjoy the experience.
It had always been Mohammed’s dream to feed dolphins and spend a day at uShaka
Marine World and so, when Netcare 911 MD Craig Grindell heard this, he was
determined to make Mohammed’s dream come true. The Netcare 911 paramedics and Mohammed’s
medical team accompanied him on his uShaka visit. After a delightful day of dolphin encounters,
the very happy young boy was airlifted back to his hometown in a Netcare 911 jet air ambulance.
Memories were made that day, and the beaming smile on Mohammed’s face meant the world to
his parents and our team. This is why we go the extra mile.
Intensive care ambulances enable safe transport of
patients between hospitals
“We are able to safely transfer patients of all ages,
from neonates and paediatric patients to the elderly.”
Thanks to Netcare 911’s mobile ICU ambulances, critically ill or compromised
patients are assured of the best care during transportation by road. When a 36 year old accident
victim with multiple injuries needed treatment at the Netcare Milpark Hospital trauma centre, our
purpose-built ambulance was able to plug into the continuum of care we offer, providing intensive care
en route. The patient remained stable and made a full recovery.
Innovative EMS rescue team uses crane to reach critically injured worker.
A worker sustained critical injuries after he fell two storeys down a partially
built elevator shaft on a construction site in Centurion. With only scaffolding and no lift or stairs
on site, our EMS team needed an innovative high angle rescue solution that would not further damage
the worker’s spine. Always resourceful, they called on Netcare 911’s specialised rescue service team,
who used an on-site crane to reach, stabilise and bring the man to safety. Our waiting ambulance
transported him to the nearest appropriate hospital.
