Rent-A-Hospital Agency
Makes Health Care Easy

Jerusalem — Yad Sarah is a
voluntary organization which
freely lends out thousands of
items of medical equipment, not
generally available, for people to
use in their homes. The equip-
ment ranges from wheelchairs
and oxygen tanks to hospital beds
and baby scales.
Yad Sarah fills a major gap in
the country's medical services as
neither the hospitals nor the
Health Ministry are able to loan
medical items. In cases where
someone needs a wheelchair per-
manently, the Ministry provides
the chair. But, while it's being or-
dered, Yad Sarah steps in and
lends the person a wheelchair.
There are 40 lending stations
throughout the country, which
can be found in the homes of vol-
unteers who are available 24
hours a day.
Yad Sarah has been able to in-
volve medical professionals and
non-professionals on a voluntary
basis and set up a number of pro-
grams — rehabilitation counsel-
ing, support groups for families
caring for an aged relative, first
aid training and health instruc-
tion, Over 2,000 volunteers give
their time and energy in the
different areas.
Other services have come into
being as a result of the initiative
of the volunteers. Yad Sarah has
installed a battery operated radio
alarm system in the homes of el-
derly and ill people who live alone
and haven't the funds to afford a
telephone. These people are some-
times suffering from heart condi-
tions and respiratory problems
and the fear of not being able to
get help adds to their anxiety and
aggravates their condition. A
team of volunteers regularly pop
by to check the alarm systems'
batteries and see how the old
people are coping.
Yad Sarah provides a free laun-
dry service for all bed linen and
bed clothes, It collects the soiled
items and exchanges them for

fresh ones once or twice a week. A
group of retired women come and
sort, fold and repair the clean
linen before it is sent out.
A group of retired carpenters
and handy-men repair and main-
tain much of Yad Sarah's equip-
ment and they even produce some
of the simpler items themselves.
