Incompetent employee / Health Services

<p>I had phoned the emergency 10177 for an ambulance in KZN - Durban. An employee by the name of Marriam at the call centre did not know what the number was for EMRS Durban??? Gosh! Shocking! Might I add this was an emergency. Hence the reason I call for an ambulance.  "pathetic " is an understatement for EMRS.</p> <p> </p> <p>There response times are terrible, and I don’t blame them as Government does not supply them with adequate equipment including Response vehicles. It has been said that they always have an excuse that there are no funds available. So what is the Minster of Health doing about this???? </p> <p>I have heard that the EMRS Ambulance don’t even have bandages. This is how bad it really is. Addington Provincial Hospital and RK Khans Hospital in Durban does not even have bed sheets. So you can expect to be transferred onto a ****** smelly dirty stretcher when you’re in an emergency and being transported to these Hospitals. These is just the tip of the ice berg of complaints. I am sure there many more.</p> <p>But naive people of South Africa still vote for the current Government to run this country??? Really/ How thick headed can one be?</p> <p> </p>
