The AfriForum 911 Emergency Button app connects users and reaction personnel

AfriForum 911’s emergency and medical emergency reaction app (with blue and red buttons, respectively) connects you directly to any applicable service provider in South Africa where these services are provided. By simply pressing a button, you can alert service providers, who will reach you as soon as possible to support you and your dependants with care at an exact GPS-determined location – even if you cannot speak or do not know where you are. Direct alerts mean faster response times and the real-time transfer of information to reaction personnel so that you know help is on its way.]
