“The entire nation of Israel salutes the Magen David Adom”
The Minister of Health, Uriel Busso (Shas), today (Wednesday) visited the National Dispatch Center of Magen David Adom in Kiryat Ono and met MDA Director General Eli Bin and the senior management team of the organization, in the shadow of the “Iron Swords” war. The Minister of Health heard about the activities of the organization during war and emergencies, conducted a comprehensive tour of the emergency 101 center and got to know in depth the MDA teams who save lives in the shadow of the alarms and escalation throughout the country.
In addition, the minister heard from EMTs and paramedics residents of the Western Negev communities and Sderot about the medical care they provided under live fire in the first moments of the fighting, alongside stories of heroism about MDA forces who sacrificed their lives while providing medical aid.
Minister of Health, Uriel Busso (Shas): “MDA teams are spread all over the country and are ready for any call. During routine times and even more so during an emergency, the role of the doctors, EMTs and paramedics is the most significant and important for civil society. My heart goes out to volunteers and employees of MDA, the pioneers, who jumped first at the beginning of the campaign in order to save lives under fire and lost their lives, may God avenge their blood. They are great heroes and I send my condolences to the families. The entire nation of Israel salutes the MDA organization.”
MDA Director General Eli Bin: “I thank the Minister of Health, Uriel Busso, for coming to the National Dispatch Center during the fighting in order to strengthen and support the Magen David Adom teams who save lives around the clock and work in emergency conditions under fire and while risking their lives. Magen David Adom has been prepared and ready since the outbreak of The ‘Iron Swords’ War with increased forces, in order to provide first aid and medical assistance throughout the country even under difficult and complex field conditions.”
