The Free State Department of Health embarked on a tender process to procure services for Inter Facility ambulance services in order to augment the current Provincial EMS inter facility services within the Province.
The Province took the decision because of shortage of Intermediate and Advance life support staff within the Province that could be deployed on obstetric and critical ambulance inter-facility services.
Since the whole private ambulance matter in the Free State and North West is under investigation by National Treasury, we will have to wait for the findings of the investigation, to arrive at a well informed conclusion.
