American Friends of Magen David Adom - ARMDI
is the sole authorized fundraising and advocacy organization in the United States supporting the life saving efforts of MDA in Israel and representing Magen David Adom in the US in all matters. Magen David Adom (MDA) provides the nation's pre-hospital emergency medical needs, including medical, disaster, ambulance and blood services.

MDA IS ALWAYS TRAINING AND TAKING PART IN EXERCISES TO KEEP ISRAEL'S PEOPLE SAFE

TEL AVIV (July 22, 2010) -- To keep Israel’s people safe, Magen David Adom emergency response personnel regularly undergo training, from classroom instruction to drills. 

Last month, the National Disaster Response Team of MDA participated in a special course covering areas that Magen David Adom needs to address as a Red Cross Society: Assess the needs for humanitarian help following a disaster; prepare an action plan; and coordinate the activities of units and aid from the IFRC (International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent) as well as from National Societies.

In May, Magen David Adom played a key role in the national “Turning Point 4” drill, in cooperation with the Israel Police forces, fire brigade and the Home Front command. 

NEW "PORTABLE" MEDICAL COMPLEX IMPROVES MDA'S EMERGENCY READINESS

TEL AVIV (July 21, 2010) -- MDA's new state-of-the-art "field" Emergency Medical Complex was unveiled at the recent MDA Paramedic Olympics.


 

American Friends of Magen David Adom funded this project at the request of MDA's Director General, Eli Bin.  The complex is to play a pivotal role in MDA's readiness to respond to emergency situations such as earthquakes and multiple-casualty incidents.

 

 

MAGEN DAVID ADOM PERSONNEL ARE ON ALERT THROUGHOUT ISRAEL, RESPONDING TO EVERY EMERGENCY.
