The medical team of the Springbok under-20 rugby side saved the life of 15 year-old Desiree Jaftha.

The Baby Boks have been prepararing for their clash with Argentina on Saturday and have been based in Saldanha Bay, which is about 110km north-west of Cape Town.

As reported in the full story which can be found on Sport 24, the medical team of the Baby Boks were alerted by swimmers that Desiree Jaftha was drowning in the swimming pool of the team hotel.

Team doctor Arthur Williams and physiotherapist Wayne Hector initiated CPR and transported Jaftha to the Vredenburg Provincial hospital in the team Combi instead of waiting for the ambulance.

Jaftha’s condition stabilised and she has been released from hospital back to the family.

What fantastic work by the Bok medical team. They can be immensely proud of saving a life and putting their medical training to great use!
