The Lungisa Foundation was formed when two South African paramedics decided that some of the problems facing the Emergency Medical Services in Africa could be rectified with a bit of careful thought and a lot of hard work. We enlisted the help of an expert in systems and quality and registered as a Non Profit Company (NPC) in South Africa.
