Maintenance of
MDA STATION, RAMAT GAN
Dan Region, Israel
Cost of Refurbishment Project: US $150,000
Completed: First Half of 2010
Built in 1965, the Ramat Gan Medical Emergency Station serves the cities of Ramat Gan,
Givatayim and B'nei Brak - an area of almost 400,000 people
In addition to providing emergency and first-aid medical services, the Station also
encompasses an important Magen David Adom Paramedic Training School which not only serves
Magen David Adom personnel, but also trains the Israel Defence Force and other essential
services personnel.
MDA Ramat Gan was last renovated
by MDA Australia back in 1999.
Since that time, the Station
required further refurbishment
in order to enable both the
Station and the Training School
to operate as effectively and
efficiently as possible.
|
Thanks to MDA Australia donor generosity, the work was completed in 2010.
