Emergency Evacuation - Added Value Benefits | Namibia Health Plan

Emergency Evacuation

Although the Fund may make use of the services of any number of accredited emergency service providers the Fund maintains two dedicated emergency contact numbers at E-Med Rescue 24 and LifeLink EMS. Both E-Med Rescue 24 and LifeLink EMS are locally owned emergency medical evacuation companies with the appropriate infrastructure in place to provide adequate cover and peace of mind to all NHP members.

International medical emergency cover – outside Namibian borders:

  • NHP members will enjoy cover for medical emergencies, both by road and air evacuation, in the SADC Region (Angola, Botswana, DR Congo, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Seychelles, South Africa, eSwatini, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.) and also internationally. In addition members will also be covered by emergency medical evacuation in the event of a motor vehicle accident.

Members requiring emergency medical assistance should provide the following information at the time of requesting such assistance:

  • Membership number,
  • Personal particulars,
  • The place and telephone number where the patient or his/her representative can be reached,
  • A brief description of the emergency, and
  • The nature of the assistance required.

For any further enquiries in this regard, please contact NHP, tel 061 285 5400 or any of our branches in Namibia.

Please note: The Fund may make use of the services of any accredited locally registered emergency service provider with the appropriate infrastructure in place to provide adequate cover and peace of mind.

Non-emergency transfers must be pre-authorised by the Fund’s medical service provider call centre prior to the transfer of the patient. An authorisation number will be allocated to the case and issued to the healthcare provider at the time of the request for transportation. Authorisation numbers will not be issued for cases where the member has already been transferred.

Please note: Transfer from the hospital to the home is classified as a non-emergency.
