Magen David Adom is Israel’s 
national emergency services sys-
tem. MDA protects life through the 
creation, maintenance and oper-
ation of a world-class emergency 
medical response infrastructure that 
uses technology and training to 
ensure emergency care is provid-
ed for all Israelis — wherever and 
whenever they need it. MDA saves 
life by responding immediately to 
all emergencies, from minor acci-
dents to terrorist events regardless 
of who is in need. And MDA gives 
life through a massive volunteer 
network, blood-bank services and a 
human milk bank that helps every-
one regardless of their background. 
MDA has created a standard for the 
creation, management and delivery 
of emergency resources that is the 
envy of the world.
