👶✨ A Special Delivery – 4 October

On the evening of Saturday, 4 October, our crew — Matthew, Jeremy, and Siya — were dispatched to a home in Malabar for a female patient in labour.

Upon arrival, the team reassured the mom, made her comfortable, and safely loaded her into our ambulance for transport.

🏥 Our first stop was Dora Nginza Hospital, but upon arrival, we were referred to Kwazakhele MOU, and shortly after, redirected again to Livingstone Hospital.

However, as we exited the Dora Nginza gates, the baby had other plans 👶❤️
In the back of our Bester EMS ambulance, our crew worked together seamlessly to safely and successfully deliver a healthy baby!

We returned to Dora Nginza Hospital, where both mom and baby were warmly received and are both doing well.

👏 The hospital staff commended our crew for their quick response and professionalism.

Moments like these remind us why we do what we do — serving our community with care, compassion, and dedication. 💛

🙏 Fortunately, no severe injuries were reported, and the fire was brought under control thanks to the swift efforts of the Fire Department and emergency services.
