As the BEST team took a well-earned break in December, the report recording incidents and call-outs in December and January will be presented in the next BBRA newsletter.
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). Donations can be paid to 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. Fortunately, we have a number of spare patient monitors which have been kindly donated.
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.
