SAFARI ID - Your passport to private healthcare services in South Africa in a medical emergency - by ER24

The very popular ER24 ID service was developed 7 years ago in response to an increasing desire to secure quality healthcare treatment in a medical emergency – with an ever increasing gap emerging between services offered by private and state healthcare institutions.

ER24 ID protects you in a medical emergency in a number of ways:

  • It connects you directly with ER24 Call Centre (084 124) – the most sophisticated in SA
  • The ER24 Call Centre has immediate access to a nationwide fleet of Road / Air Ambulances – the most comprehensive in SA
  • The ER24 Call Centre will access your personal datafile (in an emergency) and:
    • Provide attending medical personnel with any medical conditions you may have nominated in your Application – to ensure you receive correct treatment
    • Provide Details of your Travel Cover Policy to your receiving hospital for easy admission purposes. When purchasing a SafariMED Inbound Policy, this cover is VERIFIED.
    • Contact next of kin and local operator
    • Covers you in South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland

How ER24 ID works:

  • When applying for ER24 ID you have the opportunity to provide ER24 with personal information which will be treated confidentially and only used for your benefit in a medical emergency
  • ER24 will create a personal Datafile with this information which is kept at the ER24 Call Centre
  • You will receive a ER24 Membership Card (plastic, credit card type) and an ER24 Velcro Band both with your PIN – which links to your Datafile
  • Simply call 084 124 in any medical emergency – and let South Africa’s best take care of you.

Duration and Cost:

  • SafariID provides you with ER24 ID protection for up to 30 days from date of arrival in SA.
  • The cost per individual is R95 – including postage within SA.
  • Postage to addresses outside SA costs an additional R65 and can take up to 2 weeks.
