The need to join Mega-Care

Presently when one is involved in an accident, existing emergency ambulance service being limited, one has to rely on passers-by to be taken to a hospital or clinic, This practice, although welcome at the time, may not only aggravate the injuries, but can also be fatal, if mishandled by untrained personnel.

The Service

Pre-hospital care to increase chances & quality of recovery.

Transport from place of emergency to the nearest hospital or clinic as per member's instructions.

Inform third party/family doctor as per member's instructions.

Mega-Care offers an Emergency Ambulance Service, on a membership basis, covering the whole island 24hrs a day.

Ambulance Technicians have been trained to deal with Road Traffic Accident Casualties, Work Injuries, Fractures, Burns, Cardiac Emergencies, etc. to a level similar to that of the UK National Ambulance Training Standard.
The ambulances and motorcycles, strategically positioned throughout Mauritius, are equipped with advanced First-Response kits and oxygen units.

In heavy traffic, the Ambulance Technicians on well equipped motorcycles, are deployed to provide initial treatment pending the arrival of the ambulances.

Sophisticated communication equipment su as Onboard Computers and Advanced Telephone Systems, allow quick and efficient co-ordination between Ambulance Technicians, the Central Monitoring Station, the pool of Doctors on call, and if necessary, other emergency services such as the POLICE and the FIRE SERVICES.

These equipment also give access to personal data provided by the member, i.e. Blood Group, Allergies, Current Medical Condition etc. This information is vital to provide care without unnecessary delay, both by the Ambulance Technicians and at the Treatment Centres.

The "Automatic Request for Ambulance" is an optional personal service which functions independently of the telephone networks or the mains power supply. By simply pressing the button on a special device, a signal is emitted which allows the operator at the Computerised Central Monitoring Station to immediately itentify the registered location where assistance is needed and dispatch an ambulance.

THE CMS

The Computerised Central Monitoring Station is the nerve centre of the organisation. It operates 24hrs a day to receive emergency calls and to deploy the nearest vehicle (Ambulance and Motorcycle) to the place of accident or emergency.

With the sophisticated equipment at the CMS, the operators verify the personal data of the member in need.

They follow instructions as per the member's record and transmit information such as blood group, allerties, current medical condition, etc. the ambulance technicna.

The CMS operators also advise the treatment centre of the nature of the casualty and condition of the injured, the estimated time of the arrival and, if necessary, liaise with other emergency services such as the POLICE and the FIRE SERVICES.

Intensive training is given by experienced trainers. Regular updates and yearly qualifying examinations are part of the extensive training program.
