"Doctors on Call" Project of Health Minister Uriel Busso Launches - Dozens of Advanced Resuscitation Kits for Clinic Doctors in Northern Israel
Following a joint visit by Health Minister Uriel Busso (Shas) and MDA Director General Eli Bin to Majdal Shams and the desire to ensure medical availability in the North, the "Doctors on Call" initiative was born. The immediate implication: hundreds of additional doctors will serve as MDA first responders in case of emergencies and will be able to handle serious and complex cases. These doctors, acting as rapid response team members, will be dispatched by the Magen David Adom national response center with the goal of strengthening medical response in the area, which has been under emergency conditions for an extended period, and reducing the response times for life-saving medical treatment.
Health Minister, MK Uriel Busso: “This is a real life-saving issue, and a revolution in emergency medical accessibility. We started this important initiative in the North and will extend it throughout the country. As an EMT for many years, I understood the critical need of ensuring hundreds of doctors with advanced equipment to provide initial treatment and serve as MDA responders.”
MDA Director General Eli Bin: "As part of MDA's deployment, we are constantly working, especially during this period, to reduce response times and provide the fastest possible medical care. At the minister’s request, we have worked across the North to strengthen community medical teams and provide them with the best tools to save lives when needed. We thank the Health Minister and his offices for their effective and closeImage cooperation in routine times and especially in emergencies."
