The SCHHS identified a need for an experienced medical and nursing retrieval team to road transfer critically ill patients within the district during the covid-19 pandemic climate. The SCHHS contains five health facilities spanned across 100km, a distance normally requiring rotary service. The SCHHS response was initiated to ease burden on RSQ during the pandemic, improve response capability to ensure quality patient care and improve district expertise.
