Yoni Yagodovsky was previously director of Magen David Adom’s Jerusalem region, including during the period between 2000 and 2004, when the city saw terrorist attacks, among them shootings, stabbings, and suicide bombings, on a near-daily basis.

In that position, he emerged as a leading expert on mass-casualty response.

In his current position, he serves as a liaison for Magen David Adom worldwide and also conducts training drills for civilians and EMS organizations — both in Israel and overseas.

He began his tenure at MDA as a youth volunteer in 1975, became an EMT in 1981, got his paramedic certification in 1990, and has held his current position since 2004.
