Six callouts were attended to in June 2025. One motor bike accident, one fall injury and four medical cases. Of these, three required hospitalisation, one declined further assistance and the ambulance.
A big thank you for the generous donation of a second hand GE Dinamap patient monitor with accessories. Should our existing Philips monitor fail we have functional backup monitors we can use until sufficient funds are received for the purchase of a new monitor.
An important reminder to all, please have your medical aid information, a list of your current medication and medical history at hand as this greatly assists with patient assessments and handover to the ambulance services. We urge people to prominently display both the Erf number and street number on their property so that they can easily be found particularly at night.
Any donation to BEST will be most welcome as we have ongoing expenses and are in need of a replacement patient vital signs monitor (R75 000) – ABSA, Betty’s Bay Ratepayers account 4066616439, Branch 632005, with BEST as the reference to ensure that your donation is used solely for our purpose. Many thanks to all those who have contributed, without your support we would not be able to provide this service.
The Emergency Number for BEST is 066 165 6061. Please save this number on your phone or have it readily available.
