Magen David Adom is training 1,000 Wolt delivery drivers in lifesaving first aid, leveraging their widespread presence to improve emergency response nationwide.
Magen David Adom (MDA) will train 1,000 Wolt delivery drivers, giving them lifesaving first aid tools, in a first-of-its-kind cooperation between Wolt and MDA, the companies announced this week.
The cooperation is aimed at taking advantage of the widespread of Wolt drivers around the country, which means that many thousands of delivery people are in the streets at any given time, according to Wolt’s Head of Operations, Eliya Yosefyan.
Because Wolt is so widely used, its delivery drivers are all over the country and often encounter situations in which first aid training could enable them to help others, according to the company.
MDA has already begun training Wolt delivery people, and training includes learning how to complete CPR, treat injuries, stop bleeding, and deal with other health emergencies.
