Last week, 70 persons who took part in a MDA Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) course completed their studies. All of the students will be working with MDA via the nationwide Hatzoloh network.

A festive graduation was held in the presence of Health Minister Yaakov Litzman and MDA Chief Eli Bin. Each graduate was presented with a first-response bag, a vest and communications device.

The evening included a seuda during which rabbonim shlita addressed the forum, including the President of Hatzoloh, HaGaon Rav Chaim Halevy Wosner Shlita, Health Minister Litzman and MDA Chief Bin.
