The shrieks of terror grew louder asLina Cooperman, a volunteer MDAEMT reached the esplanade in Jaffa.There, minutes earlier, a terrorist wenton a rampage, stabbing anyone in hisvicinity and leaving a trail of carnagein his wake. “It was chaos, absolutechaos,” she said.

Anwar Srkaoi, another MDA volunteer,arrived within minutes of being dis-patched to the Jaffa clock tower, slip-ping through Tel Aviv’s notorious rushhour traffic on his well-equippedEmergency Medicycle.

The Jaffa attack killed one man andinjured ten others. There were similar,albeit less deadly attacks that day inJerusalem and Petah Tikvah, a starkreminder that no place in Israel is im-mune from violence in the current cli-mate. These attacks are part of thewave of stabbings, car-rammings andshootings that have plagued Israelissince September 2015, killing morethan 40 people and injuring 500.

While thwarting all these attacks isnearly impossible, responding to themis not. MDA, having developed world-renowned expertise in mass casualty

responses, has saved hundreds oflives. It has done this by embracingefficient and tech-savvy innovations.

In an effort to “see” the scene of anemergency and dispatch the most ap-propriate vehicles and personnel,MDA has up-graded its smart phone

app in order to provide a live videofeed from the scene, adding anothercapability to what is already the mostsophisticated phone app for summo-ning EMS help.

Users can mobilize MDA paramedicswith one touch and enable dispat-chers to see their exact location andthe scene so that critical medical de-cisions can be made even as the pa-ramedics are being dispatched.

“The app allows callers to obtain im-mediate help and provides dispat-chers with critical information,” saidEli Bin, MDA Director General. “It isall about providing a better and fasterresponse and ensuring that we havethe best equipment and the best-qua-

lified medics for a particular injury orailment. Once they arrive, their training is what ultimately saves a per-son’s life.”

MDA is constantly refining and improving its training and protocols,making it a sought after authority inthe medical community, frequentlytraining other Red Cross societies andfirst responders from around theworld. Emergency medical techni-cians who responded to the BostonMarathon bombing in 2013 cited theirtraining with Magen David Adom ayear earlier as instrumental in their ra-pid response.

MDA’s cutting-edge training continuesto save lives with its Life GuardianProgram. This adds another layer of

responders by training and/or recer-tifying everyday Israeli citizens in CPR.Depending on their location, theseLife Guardians receive notifications ofan emergency on their mobile appand can rush to administer CPR orfirst aid until an MDA ambulance ormedicycle arrives.

Donor support is critical becauseMDA does not receive Israeli govern-ment funding. Yoni Yagodovsky,MDA’s Director of International Affairs,commented, “As Israel’s only nationalemergency response organization, itis our responsibility to provide Israeliswith the best, most professional treat-ment possible, and we can’t offer thatwithout the support from donors.”

In this era of unpredictable and unprovoked attacks, the unique com-bination of innovatin, MDA training,and donor support is helping to keepIsraelis alive.

‘It is all about providing a better and faster response andensuring that we have the best equipment and the best-

qualified medics for a particular injury or ailment.’

Holiday greetings from Michael I. Levine, National President

Passover is a celebration of freedom from slavery and the rebirthof a Nation, over three thousand years ago. Our festivities takeplace during this time of year when the earth awakens and lifeemerges into full bloom. This celebration of life is apropos to theTalmudic principle;" Whoever saves a single life is as though hesaved the whole world”.

Magen David Adom was founded on this principle and, 40 years ago, CanadianMagen David Adom became the sole authorized fundraising organization inCanada, dedicated to supporting the lifesaving efforts of MDA in the State of Israel.

As Israel’s official national rescue and blood services organization, MDA providesemergency medical services and blood services, as well as humanitarian aid to othercountries in times of crisis. Every day, thousands of paramedics, medics and volunteerswork together to provide medical care to the people of Israel. This requires a vastamount of resources, vehicles, equipment and supplies. Emergency vehicles mustbe maintained, medical equipment and supplies need to be replenished.

Our organization directly and actively saves lives and mitigates the suffering ofhuman beings affected by violence and the human condition.

All of MDA's equipment, medical and blood products are supplied solely by theDiaspora, us! That is why MDA cannot exist without us.

Israel cannot survive without Magen David Adom.

Michael I. Levine, National President

Message de souhaits de la part de Michael I. Levine, Président NationalÀ Pessa’h, on commémore la liberté retrouvée après la servitude, et la renaissanced’une nation, des événements qui se sont produits il y a plus de 3000 ans. Nos festivitésse déroulent à une époque de l’année où la terre se réveille et où la nature recommenceà s’épanouir. Cette célébration de la vie est en harmonie avec l’adage talmudiquevoulant que quiconque sauve une vie, sauve le monde entier.

Magen David Adom a été fondé sur ce principe et, il y a 40 ans, Magen David Adomcanadien pour Israël est devenu le seul organisme de collecte de fonds autorisé auCanada à soutenir les efforts de sauvetage de vies assurés par MDA en Israël.

Service national israélien d’urgence, d’ambulance et de dons de sang, MDA fournit desservices transfusionnels et médicaux d’urgence, ainsi que de l’aide humanitaire àd’autres pays en temps de crise. Chaque jour, des milliers d’ambulanciers paramédicaux,de médecins et de bénévoles unissent leurs efforts pour fournir des soins à toute lapopulation d’Israël. Cela exige beaucoup de ressources, des véhicules, de l’équipementet des fournitures. Il faut entretenir les véhicules d’urgence, et renouveler les réserveset le matériel médical.

Notre organisme contribue directement et activement à sauver des vies et à atténuerles souffrances d’êtres humains en détresse ou touchés par la violence.

L’ensemble de l’équipement de MDA, de ses fournitures médicales et de ses produitssanguins est entièrement assuré par des donateurs de la diaspora, par nous! C’estpour cela que MDA ne peut exister sans nous, sans vous!

Israël ne peut pas survivre sans Magen David Adom.

In honour of the 90th Birthday of Mark Bernstein, the Zita and MarkBernstein Family Foundation hasdonated an ambulance and a scooter to Magen David Adom.This generous gift was made inmemory of Sara Bernstein, Mark’smother, who was the first NationalChair of Magen David Adom inCanada under the Hadassah-WIZO umbrella.

“I come from a very strong Zionistfamily,” said Mark. “For as long asI can remember, my mother wasactive with Hadassah-WIZO. What

I was not aware of until she passedaway in 1986 was that she was also involved with MagenDavid Adom.

Asked why he chose to donate anambulance and a scooter, he said,“because I can and I felt the needto do it. The survival of Israel is deeply engrained in me… MagenDavid Adom is an organization thatsaves lives.”

“Learning of my mother’s involve-ment gave me the push to makethis donation in her memory…It isa gift to the people of Israel andthe State of Israel. The survival ofIsrael and its people is a very im-portant part of my life.”

Family Foundation donatesAmbulance & Scooter WINNIPEG

A group of 25 physicians fromCanada and France recently spenta week in Israel taking part in theMDA "International Unit" - AdvanceCourse. They attended lectures,courses and participated in traumaclasses, Mobile Intensive Care Unit(MICU) shifts, and extreme drillsthroughout the south of Israel.

Leader of the Canadian group wasDaniel Amzallag, CMDA’s NationalMedia and Volunteer Coordinatorand himself a trained MDA Para-medic.

The course commenced with aconference at the Jerusalem Sta-tion, “MDA and Emergency Med-ical Innovations”, and included top-ics on technological dispatch,instruction methods, how to utilizevolunteers and medical innova-tions. An emotional personal storywas shared by Michael Kosovskiwho was saved TWICE by thesame Paramedic, Israel Wein-garten. Michael sustained a car-diac arrest while playing baseballand, thanks to the MDA dispatcherwho was able to instruct by-standers to perform CPR until theMDA team arrived, he survived.

Two years later, while in the gym,Michael went into yet another car-diac arrest and as fate would haveit, the SAME paramedic was on calland saved his life again!

A Challenging Medical Champion-ship was set up that included tendifferent medical emergency sce-narios specifically arranged for thephysicians. They dealt with awoman giving birth, a child suffer-ing from heat stroke, a penetratingwound, even a tiger bite and more.This Championship could not havebeen the success it was without

the cooperation and assistance ofour friends from MDA Negev Re-gion, MDA’s Paramedic School,Canadian Magen David Adom’srepresentatives as well as our"Maguen David Adom France" rep-resentative, Victor Wintz.

Time was also built into the pro-gram to allow for a climb upMasada and an emotional cere-mony at the top of Masada in Eng-lish, French and Hebrew with thepicturesque sunrise in the back-ground.

One event that was definitely notbuilt into the program was an ac-tual encounter with two severe caraccidents on the way back toJerusalem from Masada. Thephysicians were able to put theirskills to work when they treatedfour people – two with life-threat-ening injuries, one with moderateinjuries and one with mild injuries.

Are you a Physician or know one?Want to join our Team and be partof an unforgettable experience?The Third Basic Course of the International Unit will take placeNovember 16th to 26th, 2017. Forfurther information and to register,please contact Daniel Amzallag atdamzallag@cmdai.org.
