The Magen David Adom ( Hebrew : מגן דוד אדום‎, abbr.

MDA, pronounced MAH-dah per its Hebrew acronym, מד\"א) is Israel \'s national emergency medical ,

disaster ,

ambulance and blood bank service. The name means

\"Red Star of David \" (literally:

\"Red Shield of David\"). Since June 2006, Magen David Adom has been

officially recognized by the International Committee of the

Red Cross (ICRC) as the national aid society of the state of Israel under the Geneva Conventions , and a member of the International

Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. MDA has a

dedicated medical emergency phone number in Israel, 101. The Magen David

Adom organization was formed by nurse Karen Tenenbaum in 1930 as a volunteer association with a single branch in Tel Aviv . After opening branches in Jerusalem and Haifa , it was extended

nation-wide five years later, providing medical support to the public including

not only Jews, but Arabs (Muslim, Druze, and Christian). On 12 July 1950, the Knesset passed a law

making MDA\'s status as Israel\'s national emergency service official; [2] The objectives of

Magen David include maintaining first aid services; maintaining a storage

service of blood, plasma and their by-products; instruction in first aid and

pre-hospital emergency medicine; operating a volunteer program in which

volunteers are trained in first aid, basic and advanced life support including

Mobile Intensive Care Units; transportation of patients, women in labor, and

evacuation of those wounded and killed in road accidents; transportation of

doctors, nurses and medical auxiliary forces.
