EMERGENCY management services workers often find themselves staring down the barrel of a gun while trying to help people.
They get robbed and are sometimes raped and murdered.
EMS staff marched from Newtown in the CBD to the Gauteng health department offices on Thursday, 13 May, to hand over a memorandum of demands.
Security issues topped the list of their concerns and demands. A female paramedic told
Daily Sun she didn’t feel safe at work.
“I have to do what I must to service the community,” she said.
