With the ability to cut through traffic during rush hour and negotiate the narrow alleyways of Israel’s older cities, Medicycles enable MDA’s first responders to arrive in minutes with a defibrillator and other lifesaving equipment to treat a seriously injured or ill patient.
Magen David Adom first started using motorcycles and bicycles for emergency calls in the 1930s and they have remained important vehicles within the fleet. Assigned to specific MDA certified EMTs, today’s Medicycles include three-wheeled 500 cc Piagio motor scooters and two-wheeled 650cc intercity motorcycles.
Sponsor a Medicycle to ensure lifesaving treatment can begin as soon as possible. Contact your AFMDA local office for more information.
