CSO Emergency Medical Response.

Offering the community peace of mind by ensuring that help is only a call away.

When every second counts, count on
CSO Medical.

CSO Medical operates 24/7/365, consistently delivering excellent emergency medical treatment, personalised patient care, and providing free emergency response services. We want the community to go out and live life, knowing that in a medical emergency, CSO Medical is there. We are legally required to send an ambulance to every medical callout and will stay with and care for the patient until they arrive – no matter what. 

24/7 Control Room

Our 24/7 Control Room is the go-to for the community to report security or medical emergencies, suspicious activity, or potential threats to Cape Town’s Jewish community. Our 8 full-time staff dispatch relevant security and emergency medical responders swiftly and effectively. The Control Room also performs 24/7 CCTV monitoring and sends out alerts for any suspicious activity.

Highly Qualified Responders

Dispatched with urgency to the Jewish Community across the Western Cape, our 4 full-time medics and 20 state-certified emergency medical volunteers are dedicated to providing 24/7, essential, no-charge emergency care. They arrive on scene fully equipped and are trained to assess the situation and initiate immediate treatment to stabilise or resuscitate a patient.

Quick Response Times

In an emergency, time is of the essence. Our two Emergency Response Vehicles and highly trained volunteers are committed to being first on scene to stabilise or treat a patient. We do not transport patients to the hospital, but an ambulance will always be dispatched while our team ensures your safety, health and comfort until the ambulance arrives.
