A heartfelt "thank you" was extended by Kale Dege, the elder brother of a stabbed victim, to the National St. John Ambulance (SJA) for their swift response on New Year’s Eve at Six Mile Saraga Settlement that saved his brother's life. The incident unfolded in the afternoon when Junior Dege, the brother, got into a heated argument with a man named Kendon. Both were reportedly under the influence of alcohol when the argument escalated, and Kendon stabbed Junior in the back. As night approached, Kale realized something was wrong when he noticed his younger brother hadn’t returned. Worried, he began searching for him. “I found him struggling to breathe and knew I had to act fast,” Kale recounted. He immediately called the National St. John Ambulance for help and rushed to the Saraga Police Station to guide the ambulance crew into the settlement. With the assistance of neighbours, Junior was carefully placed into the ambulance for treatment. The St. John Ambulance team worked quickly, stabilizing Junior’s condition before transporting him to the Port Moresby General Hospital. “I’m so grateful for their quick response,” Kale told PNG HAUSBUNG. “They arrived without delay and helped my brother when we needed them the most. If it wasn’t for them, I don’t know what would have happened.” Thanks to their efforts, Junior is now recovering and regaining his strength. When asked if the incident had been reported to the authorities, Kale said, “I plan to report it soon. Kendon ran off to East Boroko, but I’ll make sure this is addressed.” The Dege family’s gratitude shines as a reminder of the vital role the National St. John Ambulance plays in saving lives and supporting communities in their time of need.
