SA Red Cross Air Mercy for you
Today we had an interview with Sarhaad Hafejee from South African Red Cross Air Mercy.
The SA Red Cross Air Mercy Service is a non-profit organisation with bases in Cape Town, Oudtshoorn, Durban, Richard’s Bay and Kimberley.
41 years back a Cessna 205 single engine "six seater" aircraft was introduced to the country.
The primary focus was to provide transportation of critically ill and injured persons from remote areas where no medical facilities existed.
It soon became apparent that a two engine aircraft would be required to cover the long distances to provide a more comprehensive service.
From rescuing fishermen clinging to an overturned boat in stormy seas, transferring a critically ill baby from a regional hospital to specialised children’s ward or flying health specialists into isolated areas, the SA Red Cross Air Mercy is there.
