Freunde des Magen David Adom in der Schweiz

Qui sommes-nous?

Notre association a été fondée à Zürich en 1982. Nous comptons à présent environ 500 membres. Notre but est de faire connaître le Magen David Adom en Israël (MDA) et de récolter des fonds pour assurer la qualité et la continuité des soins.

Qui est le MDA?

Le MDA est l'Organisme National de Soins d'Urgence et est le responsable de la Banque Nationale du Sang en Israël. Le MDA, créé en 1930 comme organisation volontaire à Tel Aviv, est la plus grande organisation bénévole d'Israël. Actuellement les équipes du MDA sont composées de 1.600 employés comprenant des ambulanciers, des "paramédics" et des urgentistes ainsi que plus de 10.000 volontaires! Plus de 900 véhicules de secours de tous types qui opèrent à partir de 125 stations réparties à travers le pays. Deux hélicoptères opérant avec des équipes et du matériel du MDA font fonction de services ambulanciers aériens d'Israël. Depuis 2006, le MDA est membre officiel de la Fédération Internationale de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge. Le MDA s'engage aussi dans des missions internationa-les à l'étranger.

Pourquoi le MDA?

En temps de paix, le MDA ne reçoit pratiquement aucun soutien financier de l’État. Presque un tiers du budget annuel du MDA Israël provient du soutien et des dons des organisations "Amis du MDA" en diaspora, qui permet l'acquisition des véhicules de secours, du matériel médical et de la construction des stations de secours.

Comme vous le voyez – Le Magen David Adom en Israël, c'est une question de vie ou de mort!
