October 2025 was a quiet month. The four call-outs were medical cases. The patients were transported by ambulance to hospital. Sadly, one of the patients passed away in hospital a week later. Our sincerest condolences to the family and friends.
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 may also require a new patient vital signs monitor (R75 000). Fortunately, we have a number of spare patient monitors which have kindly been donated.
The bank account details for donations is:
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.
