The Executive Mayor of Capricorn District Municipality Cllr Mamedupi Teffo joined the Limpopo Department of Health MEC Dr Phophi Ramathuba in the handing over of 165 of the 500 new ambulances at the Old Peter Mokaba Stadium on 23 May 2024.
The new fleet of EMS vehicles is a major step in the department’s ongoing commitment to enhance Health Care services for all residents in the province. The other badges of ambulances were handed over late last year, 2023.
“We thank you MEC for this foresighted act, which is an investment that is a testament to your commitment to increase the capacity of our EMS and safeguard the well-being of those who need a lifeline in moments of panic and hysteria – when every second counts,” said CDM Executive Mayor Cllr. Mamedupi Teffo.
She further said that she has no doubt that with this increased capacity and the dedication of the EMS personnel, these ambulances will reduce the response time, save lives, and restore public confidence in government.
