We are a community-based volunteer emergency medical services (EMS) organization committed to providing the fastest response to medical emergencies across Israel even prior to the arrival of ambulances and completely free of charge.
United Hatzalah’s strength is in its 8,000 selfless volunteers. These include emergency medical technicians (EMTs), paramedics, and doctors, who are on call 24/7/365 – even on Yom Kippur!
