We have just received notice that a Netcare911 HEMS helicopter has crashed in Kwazulu Natal. The full details of the incident and nature of the incident are not yet known.

All crew members are presumed deceased, including a paramedic, doctors, nurse and pilot.

Immediate Medical Management and Crew would like to extend their condolences to the entire Netcare911 team and especially the HEMS operation, colleagues, family and friends for their loss today.

From our Managing Director - Graydon Norton - “As a pilot and flight medic, hearing the news is gut wrenching and leaves an empty hole. Irrespective of the company and any politics, the people on board were still people, medics and pilots who gave their all for the patients of our country. The loss of the team will be felt by the whole EMS fraternity in South Africa and across the World.”
