Friends of United Hatzalah
A community-based volunteer EMS organization committed to providing the fastest response to medical emergencies across Israel
United Hatzalah volunteers provide lifesaving medical care on the scene of emergencies prior to arrival of an ambulance. Medics arrive on average, within 2-4 minutes of the call for help, often faster. Receiving initial treatment within 4 minutes of the incident assures a higher chance of survival in critical situations, and speedier recovery from injuries and illness. The United Hatzalah medics treat and stabilize the patient and then integrate with the arriving ambulance crew who arrive typically 8-10 minutes after the initial call for help. In times of war and in times of peace, from missile strikes to hemorrhagic strokes, from terror attacks to heart attacks, from car accidents to childbirths – United Hatzalah medics are prepared for any eventuality.

United Hatzalah is Israel’s largest, independent, non-profit, fully volunteer emergency medical service (EMS) organization that provides, through innovative technology, the fastest medical service throughout Israel — arriving at an emergency within 3 minutes on average and providing urgent medical care even before the arrival of an ambulance. The service is available 24/7, 365 days a year to all people regardless of race, religion, or national origin, and is completely free of charge. Dedicated United Hatzalah volunteers have been tirelessly treating wounded in the south of Israel since the onset of the war in October when, besides for the hundreds killed and kidnapped, thousands were left injured. They are now raising funds to fully equip their volunteers (trauma kits, protective vests and helmets, oxygen tanks, defibrillators) so that they can continue to respond to ongoing attacks and everyday emergencies — and save lives.
