EMS coverage in South Africa
🚨 Emergency number: 112 from mobile phones; 10177 is also used for ambulance services — NOT a dispatch tool
🏥 EMS model: Provincial public EMS alongside municipal and private ambulance providers
South Africa has a mixed emergency medical system combining provincial public EMS services with municipal and private ambulance providers. Major metropolitan areas generally have the greatest concentration of stations and advanced-life-support resources, while rural districts can face long response and transport distances. OpenStreetMap coverage varies considerably, and mapped facilities do not indicate current staffing or ambulance availability.
Use Search area or type an address above to find mapped ambulance stations. OSM coverage varies by region — increase the radius in areas with sparse results.
How to use the EMS Locator
Enter an address or click My location to center the map. Choose a radius — 10 miles works for urban areas, 30–50 miles for rural. Click Search area. EMS stations appear as blue markers and as a nearest-first list in the sidebar. Click any result to fly the map to that station, or tap Directions to open Google Maps navigation directly to it.
Important: OpenStreetMap and HIFLD station records may be incomplete, outdated, or may represent facilities that do not provide the service you expect at all times. Verify station location, staffing, and service availability with the responsible agency for operational planning. This tool does not contact dispatch and should never be used to request emergency help.
Frequently asked questions
Click 'My location' to center the map on your GPS position, choose a search radius, and click 'Search area'. EMS stations appear as markers on the map and sorted nearest-first in the sidebar. You can also type any address to jump to a different location.
Worldwide station coverage uses OpenStreetMap (OSM). U.S. searches are supplemented with HIFLD EMS station data to improve coverage where dedicated ambulance stations are not mapped in OSM. Results are served from AllFirefighter's local station database, with external services used only as fallback where applicable.
This is a planning and familiarization aid, not a dispatch system. Always verify station location, current staffing, and service availability through your agency or official EMS directories before relying on this data for operational decisions.
Station datasets can be incomplete or out of date, especially in rural and remote areas. Try increasing the search radius and verify important locations with the responsible EMS agency or official directory.
