WITHIN a month of commissioning the Emergency Medical Services (EMTs) in Berbice, personnel attached to the New Amsterdam Fire Station were called in to address a critical situation early on Saturday morning.
At approximately 07:39 hrs on June 8, the crew, consisting of EMTs T. Smartt, J. Haney, and driver R. Porter, successfully assisted in a delivery.
The patient, 41-year-old Michelle Moriah, was in active labour when the EMTs arrived.

Through their swift and professional response, they provided the necessary care and support for Moriah, leading to the safe birth of a healthy baby boy.
