Ambition 24hours supports PATCH, the Helderberg Child Abuse Centre

Ambition 24Locums has raised funds for PATCH, the Helderberg Child Abuse Centre, to buy 100 ‘goodie bags’. The four months supply will keep children entertained and distracted while they undergo a medical examination to confirm if they have been abused. Each bag contains a snack, juice, sweets, toy, colouring book and crayons.

Ambition 24Locums a leading medical staffing agency, provides locum doctors to Patch, who are on stand-by to be available whenever they are required by the centre for an examination, so that children who have reportedly been sexually abused can be examined immediately upon arrival.

PATCH, a non-profit organisation, aims to support all child victims of sexual abuse in Helderberg: according to a spokesperson: “ We strive to prevent the incidence of this horrific crime committed against innocent children. We believe that every child victim of sexual abuse is entitled to immediate crisis intervention, free professional therapy in his or her home language, at a facility close to the child victim's home, and preparation for the court case”.

Ambition 24Locums has also supported a fun-run to raise donations for the charity by providing a water table with refreshments for runners. The agency will be hosting the water table again in December 2012

Ambition 24Locum, the South African Locums staffing division of the A24 Group, was launched in May 2006 in response to the critical healthcare shortage nationally. The agency is actively recruiting medical staff to work in a range of healthcare settings in South Africa. It has received a volume of enquiries from locum doctors and nurses resident in the UK and working with the A24 Group.

Swine Flu will need more Agency Nursing Staff

Top health officials have warned that Africa is "far from being ready" for a pandemic of H1N1 swine flu, and developing countries in Asia and Latin America too will need help accessing the range of life-saving drugs and vaccines.

Ambition 24Locums is encouraging Doctors and other Healthcare professionals to register now with the agency for an anticipated surge in demand for temporary staffing by hospitals and other healthcare providers. The agency is actively recruiting doctors and also encouraging the return of those working overseas who may be considering a coming back to South Africa from the UK, Australia and the USA.

Addressing the WHO, the health minister of Tonga said it was '‘fortunate' that the H1N1 strain had spread first to affluent countries such as the United States, Canada, Spain, Britain and Japan. "Somehow, somebody decided to start this epidemic in very rich countries ... This helped all of us," said Health Minister Viliami Tangi.

He said that poor countries lack the medical staff, laboratories, drug stockpiles, and vaccine-making capacity to deal with the outbreak in a sophisticated manner. Nigeria's delegate said that African countries would face major difficulties responding to any outbreak of H1N1 flu, which has caused mild symptoms in most patients but may be especially threatening to people with HIV/Aids and other diseases.
