When aviation and emergency medicine meet, a powerful partnership is born—one dedicated to saving lives and prioritizing safety above all else.
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the men and women who commit themselves daily to this vital mission.
We salute you, not only in July, but every single day.
NAC and Netcare 911 Video
Our long-standing partnership with the National Airways Corporation (NAC) has been instrumental in enabling Netcare 911 to deliver world-class aeromedical emergency services across South Africa and the broader African continent.
Through this collaboration, we have access to a fleet of state-of-the-art helicopters, purpose-configured as mobile intensive care units, allowing our clinical teams to deliver advanced, life-saving interventions from the moment we arrive on scene. The quality and capability of NAC’s aircraft significantly enhance our ability to respond rapidly and effectively in critical situations, where time is often the difference between life and death.
Equally important is NAC’s unwavering commitment to accreditation, safety, and quality assurance. As a BARS Gold Standard operator and a leader in aviation safety on the continent, NAC consistently meets and exceeds internationally recognised benchmarks. This aligns seamlessly with our own clinical governance and quality assurance frameworks, ensuring that every mission is conducted with the highest levels of oversight and patient care.
The calibre of NAC’s pilots and technical teams is exceptional. Their experience, professionalism, and deep understanding of aeromedical operations ensure that each flight is executed with precision, safety, and efficiency. This level of expertise allows our medical crews to focus fully on patient care, confident in the aviation support behind them.
Furthermore, NAC’s heliport infrastructure of international standard, together with its operational bases, provides a critical foundation for our extensive aeromedical network. From these strategically located hubs, we are able to coordinate and manage complex operations seamlessly, ensuring rapid deployment and continuity of care across vast and often challenging environments.
Ultimately, our partnership with NAC is built on shared values: a commitment to excellence, innovation, and, most importantly, saving lives. Together, we continue to set the benchmark for aeromedical services in Africa, combining aviation excellence with clinical expertise to deliver the highest standard of emergency care when it matters most.
