Who we are

Not just a healthcare company. Your partner in health & safety.

Taurus Medical was built on the road — Advanced Life Support crews running calls across the Cape metro, on set medics on film shoots, and safety officers on live sites. Three decades on, those same crews carry the company: registered paramedics, nurses and health & safety practitioners who answer to one dispatch desk and one standard of care.
