Mifal HaPais' defibrillators project, in collaboration with Magen David Adom, first reached the Hatzor HaGlilit local council, when the defibrillator was installed in a smart stand on the Mifal HaPais stand in the city and dedicated in a special ceremony in the presence of the mayor, Shimon Suissa and MDA representatives.
