Welcome to the official page of Namib Community Ambulance Trust
About Us!!!
In a life-threatening emergency, seconds count. The Namib Community Ambulance Trust volunteers reside in your neighbourhood. They can arrive on the scene within the shortest period of time and stabilise the patient until your nominated Ambulance Service Provider arrives.
Our medics are registered with the Health Professions Council of Namibia (HPCNA) and are trained to the same level as the crews that are working permanently in the Ambulance Services. Our Organisation is registered as an Ambulance Service Provider, and our medical response vehicles are fully equipped to the Ministry of Health's specifications.
We are not concerned about whether you have medical aid or not. Our medics will initiate treatment and provide first-world medical care, and you will not be charged for our service.
Due to the tough economic climate, many families can't afford private ambulances.
Not only do we stabilise the patient and support the family, we will also arrange an ambulance to the patient’s address and ensure that the patient arrives at a hospital for continued treatment.
Our Operations!!!!!
▪ Our service areas
We’re currently based in Erongo Region, Karibib

We have a 24/7 emergency call center, which is operated by professional medics
▪ Our calls
The most frequent medical emergency calls we receive include Motor- and Pedestrian- Vehicle Collisions, Assaults, Breathing Difficulties, Strokes, Seizures, Collapses, and Cardiac Arrests. These are typically considered Priority 1 (P1) calls that require urgent medical assistance within the shortest response times.
Response times can be attributed to our 24-hour, manned emergency phone line, the state-of-the-art emergency Dispatch technology, and our volunteers that are on call, working or residing in our operational areas.
▪ Our fleet
Whilst registered as an Ambulance Service Provider, we do not operate ambulances but have two response vehicles. All response vehicles are duly registered in accordance with the National Road Traffic Act and the Ministry of Health and Social Services Act
