It’s illogical that more than 70 ambulances have been stopped from operating in Tshwane
As a result of Gauteng’s bid to centralise its emergency medical services, more than 70 ambulances serving the capital city were grounded last week.
If what the province says is to be taken at face value, the Tshwane Emergency Medical Services dealt with an average of 53 calls a day between June 2018 and June 2020, which it said was a “relatively very low number”. The province is clear that provincialising EMS is not a new decision, which is true. The process started in 2012 and was completed at the end of June.
But this is not where the outrage lies. It lies in the fact that President Cyril Ramaphosa has said SA is in a war against Covid-19, and the decision doesn’t seem to recognise that the conditions require a different approach.
