What We Do
Overview
We save lives!
The Canadian Magen David Adom actively raises funds to support Israel’s team of trained volunteer and professional medical responders and aids in providing the entire nation's pre-hospital emergency medical needs, including disaster, ambulance and blood services.
MDA is the national society of Israel and was established in 1930.
MDA's objectives and its legal status are defined in section 3 of the Magen David Adom Law passed by the Knesset (Israel's Parliament) on July 12, 1950:
- to carry out the functions of a national society, to be for this purpose an auxiliary service of the Medical Service of the Israeli Defense Forces in time of war and to prepare for this in time of peace;
- to maintain general first aid services;
- to maintain a storage service of blood, plasma and their by-products;
- to carry out any additional functions determined by the Society's By-Laws;
Article 49 of MDA's By-Laws confers the following additional duties on the Society:
- instruction in first aid and pre-hospital emergency medicine;
- maintaining a volunteer infrastructure and training them in first aid, basic and advanced life support including Mobile Intensive Care Units;
- transportation of patients, women in labor, and evacuation of those wounded and killed in road accidents;
- transportation of doctors, nurses and medical auxiliary forces;
MDA cooperates with the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.
