News24 reports that the Western Cape government has launched Operation Khuseleka (Stay safe), a safety initiative aimed at protecting vulnerable staff following a spate of attacks on paramedics in Cape Town.
Health workers, community members, emergency medical services (EMS) personnel and government bodies held a symbolic walk on Monday at Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town to show solidarity for staff safety. The march was led by provincial Health MEC NomaFrench Mbombo. Extensive engagement is ongoing with the SAPS, community police forums, the Department of Community Safety and various other safety organisations. EMS teams have the option to call for assistance, or may opt to wait for a situation to be normalised before entering an unsafe area. Ambulances have also been fitted with more tracking devices.
