Pretoria at a glance
Our base and your city
Ralmed has no branch in the capital. Every crew that answers the ambulance number Pretoria families save leaves from 89 Impala Road, Kelvin View.
From there, crews take the N1 north past Midrand and Centurion. The R21 is the way in from the east side, towards Irene and Olifantsfontein, and the N4 runs across the city towards Mamelodi in the east and the Magaliesberg in the west.
Because the drive is longer than within Johannesburg, say so if the patient's situation changes while you wait, and the control room will update the crew.
These are some of the parts of Pretoria our crews reach, all within the City of Tshwane:
