INTRODUCTION
🔬 Say hello to Franklin Erasmus, our dedicated Logistics Officer!
âť“Franklin, tell us about your role at RIRCA:
I’ve been part of the RIRCA group since 2021, serving as the Logistics Officer. My main responsibility is transporting specimens from our clinical sites—Tygerberg Hospital, Groote Schuur Hospital, and Mowbray Maternity Hospital—to the lab.
âť“ What does a typical day look like for you?
I stay in touch with our sample recruiters and the lab team, making sure everything is coordinated before picking up specimens. Once I get confirmation, I head out, informing the lab team when I’m on my way. As soon as I arrive at the lab, I send a group message to confirm that the specimens have arrived!
âť“ What challenges do you face in your role?
Sometimes, unexpected things happen—mechanical issues, accidents—so I always keep the team updated while en route.
