You Can Help Save Lives With OMR Community Medix

Offering 24-hour medical response and life-saving medical care at the scene of accidents and other emergencies in and around Gansbaai, OMR Community Medix is always ready as the first responder in any event.

 
On-Call 24-Hours A Day, Seven Days A Week

Over the years, Cassie Carstens and his team have become household names in the Overstrand. Their visible presence in the community is a comforting reassurance that help is close at hand whenever it is needed. Always perfecting their response time to emergencies, the team are constantly looking for new, innovative technologies to keep them connected with other medical and rescue teams, as well as with each other. 

In line with this, OMR Community Medix is in the process of shifting to a highly effective two-way radio communication system by Hytera. This pricey shift is essential to ensure they keep up with the latest international emergency responder technology.

 
Innovative Communications For A Safer World

Hytera is a global leader in two-way radio communication and the Hytera Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC Handheld) technology allows responders to make calls to different groups of people at the same time over a mobile operator’s network. One person can be in continuous communication with one or more active call groups with a single touch of a button. This time-saving efficiency is incredibly handy in emergencies and OMR Community Medix is desperately trying to raise the funds to acquire ten Hytera 380 two-way radios.

 
Your Donation Goes Towards Saving Lives

Your cash donation is appreciated and will be used towards buying a Hytera 380 two-way radio and the software needed to keep OMR Community Medix connected at all times. Whether you are in a position to afford the funding of one or more radios or would like to donate a few rands to go into the walkie-talkie kitty, every contribution helps and makes a difference.
