Medical Situation in Israel – Volunteers Needed
The emergency medical situation and resources in Israel have been stretched thinner than ever before. The Israel Ministry of Health has set up a special web page for doctors, nurses, paramedics, and others, to sign up to volunteer if the situation continues to decline and they are no longer able to meet the medical needs for Israeli citizens. Please share this website with any medical professionals that you may know.
