Our association has 20 ambulances operated by experienced ambulance drivers/medics, investing great efforts to ease the patient's suffering. The ambulances are equipped with all the equipment required by the law and more.The association 's ambulances transfer patients from all across the country to various destinations (free of charge) and also serve as intensive care mobile units for scheduled transportation of chronic patients from one medical center to another or abroad. The ambulances are also used for transporting premature babies in incubators at the request of their treating pediatricians (in such cases a medical team required by the law, accompanies the association 's ambulance driver)
About 10,000 patients use the association's ambulances every year
