Poor service

I called today at 11am. Spoke to tens of people with reference no from Mabel to several others until been connected at 13h00 to Thabile reference 070126Q4JRF I am a pensioner aged 76. To be transferred to numerous consultants. MY QUESTION: WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF IT WAS AN EMERGENCY. To be on the phone from 11am till after 1pm is disturbing to say the least. I have never in my life experienced such a poor response from a call center. We are dependent on this medical aid but the service must improve
