The Motor Vehicle Accident Fund (MVA) of Namibia in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Social Services and the Mariental Municipality activated the Mariental Emergency Medical Rescue Regional Response on Wednesday.
“The Emergency Medical Response Centre will strengthen emergency response in both the Hardap and ||Kharas regions on the B1 route, to ensure that those injured in motor vehicle crashes are provided with the required emergency medical care within the golden hour,” the MVA in a press release stated.
The Emergency Medical Response Centre is expected to operate from the Mariental Fire Department and will not only respond to motor vehicle crash emergencies but will also provide medical day-to-day services to the community.
MVA said this is in response to their Pillar Five of the Decade of Action Plan which aims to increase responsiveness to post-crash emergencies and improve the ability of health and other systems to provide appropriate emergency treatment.
