Translated from Hebrew
What does the bill do?
The proposal provides for establishing a national medical emergency phone center that will operate continuously all year round under Magen David Adom. The center will receive calls by dialing 101 free of charge, will dispatch registered on-call responders from a central register, and will document the treatment. On-call responders (holding certificates as doctors, paramedics, nurses and emergency medical technicians) will be listed in the register provided that they belong to an approved auxiliary organization, meet training and equipment requirements, and have not been convicted of certain offenses. The proposal places responsibility on the auxiliary organizations and Magen David Adom for the training, supervision and insurance of the on-call responders, and sets a duty of confidentiality on patient information.
