A severe storm left a trail of destruction across critical health infrastructure in the Amajuba district in KwaZulu-Natal on Friday evening.
The KwaZulu-Natal health department said a large tree was uprooted at the Madadeni emergency medical services EMS base, crashing onto a park home and damaging the perimeter fence shared with Madadeni hospital.
For paramedics who have to respond to life-and-death emergencies daily, the damage has added to already demanding work conditions.
