On Saturday night MEC for Health Dr Bandile
Masuku rolled up his sleeves and spent the night with Emergency Medical
Services night shift crew, based at Dr Yusuf Dadoo Hospital, attending to calls
as part of his once a month voluntary clinical work initiative. 


Together with the EMS crew, MEC Masuku attended
to various distressed calls and other emergency related activities such as home
baby delivery, an assault case and motor accident scene amongst others. 


Dr Masuku who was accompanied by the provincial
head of EMS Arnold Malotana had an opportunity to experience first-hand the
work of EMS and the challenges.  


MEC Masuku shared his time with EMS crew with
his followers on Twitter:


“We are at the Dr Yusuf Dadoo EMS Base we are
joining the Gauteng EMS night shift as part of our once a month voluntary
clinical work. We are committed to improving staff morale our visit this
evening forms part efforts to support frontline staff. We are here all night.”



“Super proud of the team in my office, who took
up the challenge and did basic life training.” 



Thank you @GautengEMS Dr Yusuf Dadoo Base for
allowing us to spend our once a month voluntary clinical work with you. Join us
every month, you do not have to be a clinician, help out where you can. Let’s
improve the Gauteng Health system together.




Some of MEC’s Masuku followers were moved by
the initiative and as result they promised to in join on voluntary basis.
