Daily News writes that private ambulance services in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) are under attack, with paramedics increasingly falling victim to criminals while on duty.
Two ER24 women paramedics were robbed of cash and cellphones at Howick Falls on Tuesday. ER24 paramedics have fallen victim to at least 17 attacks and robberies, including the Howick incident, in the past two years alone. Most of the incidents have taken place at accident scenes. Another private ambulance service, Sharaj Ambulances in Ladysmith, said its teams had been attacked and robbed four times already this year, while they escaped several attempts over the same period. Both companies said the attacks were making it difficult for them to provide services in times of need.
