3.8 seconds or less to save a life

Israelis count on Magen David Adom's expertise before first-responders arrive.
When Eliran Shoraki stopped breathing after having a heart attack, his wife called 101 — Magen David Adom's Emergency Dispatch Center. MDA EMT Nir Grosbard answered the call and guided Eliran's wife on how to administer CPR, while MDA first-responders rushed to the scene via Medicycles and a Mobile Intensive Care Unit. After providing critical life support, including electrical shock defibrillation and medication, Eliran's pulse returned.

MDA Medicycles quickly respond to emergencies.
All MDA dispatchers are paramedics or EMTs. They answer every call in less than 3.8 seconds — responding to terror attacks, heart attacks, and other medical emergencies. MDA's expert ability to provide first aid instruction by phone can make the difference between life and death.
Yes, I want to support Magen David Adom and help save lives in Israel.
