"Emergency services in South Africa are generally reliable and well-equipped. Ambulance services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. To call for an ambulance, you can dial the emergency number 112 from any phone, or you can call the local emergency services number for your area. It is important to provide as much information as possible when calling for an ambulance, such as the exact location, the nature of the emergency, and any other relevant information," explained one expat living in South Africa.
"Within 5 minutes drive of an outstanding private hospital; another excellent private hospital is 15 minutes away," said another in Cape Town, South Africa.
