Home ground

Why our ambulance service is rooted in Sandton

Most of the areas we serve are reached from somewhere else. Sandton is different, because this is where our ambulances start every shift.

Our base in Kelvin View sits between Marlboro and Linbro Park, with the M1 and the N3 close by. From there, crews reach the business district along Grayston Drive and Rivonia Road, and the northern suburbs along William Nicol Drive.

That makes Ralmed a genuinely local ambulance service Sandton residents and businesses can rely on, day and night.

In the towers

Emergencies in the Sandton business district

Office towers, hotels and shopping centres bring their own challenges for any ambulance service Sandton relies on. These steps make a real difference:

Tell building security

Reception or the security desk can hold a lift and guide the crew up to the right floor.

Name the entrance

Around Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square, say which street entrance the crew should use.

Convention Centre events

Ask event staff to meet the crew at the door and walk them to the patient.

Near the Gautrain station

Give the exit or the street you are on, and stay somewhere the crew can see you.

Where we go

Suburbs our Sandton crews cover

The area sits within Region E of the City of Johannesburg. Our crews work across it, including:

In the gated estates of Bryanston and Morningside, call the guardhouse as soon as you have called us. In Alexandra, a school, a church or a spaza shop is the landmark that helps most.

Questions

Ambulance service Sandton: your questions

Which ambulance service is based in Sandton?

Call 086 1725 633 for Ralmed, a private ambulance service based at 89 Impala Road, Kelvin View, Sandton. Our control room and crews work from there, day and night. The public ambulance service answers 10177, and 112 works from any mobile.

Where exactly is your base?

Our base is in Kelvin View, on the eastern side of Sandton, between Marlboro and Linbro Park and close to the M1 and N3. The same building houses our 24-hour GP practice and our laboratory, so the crew and the doctors work side by side.

Can you reach an office on a high floor in the Sandton CBD?

Yes. Call us, then tell building security that an ambulance is coming. Security can hold a lift and bring the crew straight to the right floor. Give the building name, the street entrance and the floor when you call. Send someone to meet the crew in the lobby.

Do you cover Alexandra?

Yes. Alexandra is close to our Kelvin View base, and our crews work there as they do across the rest of the area. Street names can be hard to see at night, so give a landmark such as a school, a church or a shop.

Which hospital will the crew use?

That depends on the patient's needs and, where it is clinically safe, your choice. Nearby private hospitals include Mediclinic Morningside, Mediclinic Sandton and Netcare Sunninghill. Charlotte Maxeke in Parktown is the nearest large public academic hospital. The crew will explain where they are going before they leave.

Can Ralmed provide cover for a conference in Sandton?

Yes. We plan medical cover for conferences, hotel functions and other events, based on a risk assessment done to South African law. Send us the venue, the dates and the expected numbers, and we will propose the crews and ambulances the event needs.

Can my company keep your number for staff?

Yes. Many employers share 086 1725 633 with their staff and building management, so everyone calls the same line in an emergency. You can save our contact card from our website and pass it on to your team. Add the number to your building's emergency notices too.

Can I see a doctor instead of calling an ambulance?

For illness or a minor injury that is not an emergency, yes. Our 24-hour GP practice is in the same building as our ambulance base. For chest pain, stroke signs, severe bleeding or difficulty breathing, call for an ambulance instead.

Will medical aid pay for the ambulance?

Most schemes cover emergency ambulance transport, though your plan's rules apply. Always call the ambulance service Sandton families use first, and sort out the paperwork afterwards. We give you the documents your scheme needs to process the claim. Our accounts team can help with any queries.

Sandton's own ambulance line

Our crews start every shift in Kelvin View and cover homes, towers and estates across the area. Save the number and share it at home and at work. For an ambulance service Sandton can count on, call 086 1725 633.
