Ambulances and Lifesaving Vehicles: Donations fund the purchase and maintenance of MDA’s diverse fleet, from MICUs equipped with advanced life-support systems to agile Medicycles that navigate narrow or traffic-clogged streets. These vehicles are critical for reaching patients quickly and providing immediate care.
Training for EMTs and Paramedics: AFMDA supports training programs that keep MDA’s responders at the forefront of emergency medical care — running 378 training drills in 2024 alone. This preparation is essential for handling complex scenarios like mass-casualty events, where every decision can mean the difference between life and death.
Blood Supply for IDF and Hospitals: AFMDA helps MDA maintain a steady supply of tested and typed blood, ensuring availability for soldiers, civilians, and medical facilities during crises and routine operations alike.
Equipment and Supplies: From defibrillators to bandages, AFMDA provides the urgent tools that MDA teams rely on daily. These supplies are often the margin between survival and tragedy in the chaos of an emergency.
Emergency Medical Stations and Facilities: Contributions help modernize and repair MDA’s stations, protecting staff and safeguarding operations against wear, damage, or attacks.

Donors’ Impact: A Lifeline from Afar

The numbers speak to the profound impact of AFMDA’s support. In 2024, MDA’s 2,650 emergency vehicles and 206 stations remained in active service, bolstered by donor generosity. The organization’s ability to respond to over 3.6 million emergency calls, deliver thousands of babies, and provide hundreds of thousands of blood units reflects the tangible difference made by contributions from American donors.
