E-Med Rescue 24 Namibia

E-Med Rescue 24 (also operating as EMED Medical Centre) is Namibia’s first wholly locally owned 24-hour emergency medical evacuation and paramedical service company. Established to deliver advanced life support in pre-hospital settings, it brings emergency room-level care directly to patients across the country, with a strong focus on rapid response and professional medical assistance.

The company provides comprehensive emergency services, including ground ambulances equipped with advanced life support equipment and air ambulance services in partnership with Westair Aviation since 2009. It specialises in medical evacuations, pre-hospital care, and on-site paramedic support, particularly for Namibia’s mining sector through mobile medical response centres.

In addition to traditional emergency response, EMED Medical Centre has expanded its offerings to include general medical check-ups, comprehensive home-based care, and innovative services such as Namibia’s first AI-assisted healthcare solutions. This allows patients to access both acute emergency care and ongoing wellness support in one integrated service.

The business operates a 24/7 call centre and maintains strategic partnerships with medical aid schemes, insurers, and corporate clients. It also offers the “Rescue Me” insurance policy underwritten by Prosperity Life, providing emergency evacuation coverage tailored for individuals and families.

EMED Medical Centre supports remote and industrial sites with on-site paramedics and customised medical training for healthcare facilities and private operations. Its mobile response units and telemedicine capabilities ensure reliable care even in challenging locations across Namibia.

With a mission centred on saving lives through innovation, technology, and local expertise, the company continues to evolve from a pure emergency rescue provider into a broader medical centre model, combining urgent care, preventive services, and advanced technology for the benefit of the Namibian population.
