A Brief introduction to CBCM:

Camps Bay Community Medics (CBCM) was established in 1998 by 2 locals, Jarred Rose and Warren Furneaux, who identified that the response of Emergency Medical Services was lacking in the area. In a medical emergency minutes can make the difference and the medical response in South Africa, although highly proficient, was not capable of meeting international standards of having medical personnel at your door within 10 minutes. With the advent of CBCM this response time was achieved and over the years has made that critical difference for countless residents and visitors to Camps Bay. In fact the statistics have indicated an average response time of 8 minutes during 2010.

 

The paramedics that respond to your emergency are all volunteers with medical qualifications ranging from Basic to Advanced Life Support. These volunteers are registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa and as such are held to the highest standards of pre-hospital emergency medical care.

 

Since 1998 CBCM has grown from 2 founding members to a 20 strong team of highly dedicated volunteers who give of their time and expertise to ensure you receive a professional and rapid response in your time of crisis.
