Welcome to Community Medics

In a life-threatening emergency, seconds count. The Community Medics volunteers reside in your neighbourhood and can arrive on scene within the shortest period of time and stabilise the patient until your nominated Ambulance Service Provider arrives on scene.

Our medics are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) and are trained to the same level as the crews that are working permanently in the Ambulance Services. Our Organisation is registered as an Ambulance Service Provider and our medical response vehicles are fully equipped to the Department of Health’s specifications.

Donations

Our greatest challenge is relying on limited resources to respond to the growing number of medical emergencies we are called for on a daily basis.

As a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) and Non Profit Organisation (NPO) we rely solely on our partnerships, sponsors and supporters to keep us operational. Without the continued support of the community by way of donations, sponsorships, and corporate funding, we would not be able to offer this free, first world, medical response service.

Volunteers

Our team comprises over 40 trained professionals registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). Their medical qualifications range from Doctors, Advanced Life Support (ALS), Intermediate Life Support (ILS) and Basic Life Support (BLS). We also have a team of over 20 Emergency First Responders.

Our volunteers join because they have a passion for the industry, and for giving back to the community. Playing to their off-the-road strengths, our volunteers also support the Organisation’s portfolios. Key portfolios include Fundraising, Marketing, Public Relations, Human Resources, Logistics, and Training.

Training

Training the community
Community Medics provides free Emergency First Aid Responder (EFAR) training so as to empower the community, thereby assisting their neighbours in stabilising a patient until we arrive on scene.

Community involvement
The communities in which we operate have active neighbourhood watches and armed response companies, and Community Medics frequently responds to calls from these organisations for medical emergencies. We also assist the South African Police Service, Community Police Forum and Law Enforcement.
