A-Ward’s billing was already waiting for me when I got to my desk the following day. That was a good way to start my day and resulted in the ward getting their stock back on time. He also brought the following day's discharge files as the patients were leaving the ward, after checking the files and ensuring everything was in order. This means that these accounts will reach the medical aid sooner, and will be paid sooner. It might sound like a small gesture, but this kind of efficiency makes a huge difference, and I wish to thank him and give credit for his great teamwork.’ Well done, Vuyisani, for making such a great impression.

The compassion showed to us as a family was above and beyond what could ever be expected, not only in tending to the patient but in how he interacted with all of us. We will forever be grateful to the ER24 team. A big thank you from a very grateful wife, son and daughters. You will forever live on as heroes in our hearts.'
