Some roads test more than distance.

They test patience, trust, timing… and the people beside you.

When the weather turns, visibility drops, and the road demands more from everyone, that is where teamwork stops being a slogan and becomes something real. 🚑🌧️

At Best Care, no vehicle moves alone. Every crew behind you, every crew ahead of you, every voice on the radio, every hand ready when you arrive — all of it matters. One team watching each other, backing each other, and making sure that no patient journey depends on one person alone.

Because in emergency care, strong teams do not just travel together… they carry responsibility together.

Behind every safe arrival is communication.
Behind every difficult call is trust.
Behind every long shift is a team that understands why they do this.
Rain or shine, day or night — we keep moving, together.

Driven by teamwork. Built on trust. Ready for the road. 💙🤝🚨

𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Magalies Mountains

Last night, Best Care Emergency Medical Service was activated for a potential mountain rescue involving a female hiker reported missing in the Magalies Mountains. Information received indicated that the patient had become stranded in the mountain area for approximately three to four hours.

A coordinated search operation was initiated, with responding teams navigating difficult terrain and low-light conditions to locate the patient safely. The female was successfully tracked down and brought to safety without further incident.

Mountain rescue operations remain complex due to terrain, visibility challenges, and communication limitations, making inter-agency cooperation essential in ensuring successful outcomes.

Best Care Emergency Medical Services would like to extend sincere appreciation to CRG Moot, Emergency Support EST - Emergency Support Team, Proshield Security, and Tshwane Fire Brigade Services for their valuable assistance and teamwork during this operation.

Safety Tip:
Anyone entering mountain or hiking areas should always inform someone of their route, estimated return time, and carry a charged cellphone, water, and a light source, even for short hikes, as conditions can change quickly.

𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗲: 1 April 2026
𝗟𝗼𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Pretoria North

Earlier today, Best Care Emergency Medical Service together with the Advanced Life Support & Cardiac Unit driven proudly by Chery Centurion, responded to an emergency involving a two-year-old child who fell into a swimming pool and experienced a near drowning incident.

On arrival, the child presented with a decreased level of consciousness and cyanosis (blue discolouration of the skin indicating lack of oxygen). Immediate treatment and assessment were initiated by the attending paramedic, after which the child regained consciousness and showed improvement on scene. The patient was thereafter privately transported to a local hospital for further evaluation and monitoring.

The incident was consistent with a dry near drowning event, where airway spasm can temporarily restrict breathing even when little water enters the lungs. Medical observation remains important after any drowning-related incident, even if the child appears improved.

Best Care Emergency Medical Services extends sincere appreciation to the EST - Emergency Support Team for their assistance and response, as well as Maximum Security for their support on scene. Effective teamwork remains essential during paediatric emergencies. 🤝🚑

We remind all families to remain vigilant around swimming pools and open water, as drowning can occur silently and within seconds. 💙

Best Care Emergency Medical Service was activated to a snakebite incident in Jan Niemand Park this afternoon. A person was bitten on the arm by a Black Mamba. The incident took place at Rynoue, just North of Pretoria on the way to the Roodeplaat dam, but the patient was rushed to Pretoria by family.

The Advanced Life Support and Cardiac Unit, proudly driven by Chery Centurion, was activated and was the first medical service provider on scene. The Advanced Life Support paramedic noted that a tourniquet had been applied by a PVES First Responder and commended him for his efforts.

The patient began showing increasing signs of deterioration and was subsequently medically sedated and placed on a mechanical ventilator. Thanks to Medicare Hospital Equipment for the use of the Weinmann Transport Ventilator, which contributed significantly to patient care.

The patient was transported as a priority to Unitas Emergency Department, where a full ECMO team was on standby for potential ECPR and advanced critical care. Antivenom was administered and the patient is currently admitted to ICU.

🙏 We wish the patient a speedy recovery and extend our gratitude to all responding teams and organizations involved.

🌅🚑 Another sunrise, another road, another chance to make a difference.

Before most people wake up, the road is already calling — quiet skies, open distance, and a reminder that every new day starts with purpose. Some mornings begin with coffee… ours begin with sirens ready, radios on, and hearts prepared for whatever waits ahead.

Every sunrise on duty feels like a small promise: that no matter what the day brings, someone will need help, and someone must be ready to go.

The road never sleeps — and neither does the calling to serve.
