Coronavirus czar, Prof. Ronni Gamzu: "Without Magen David Adom we would not have received safety as a health system and as citizens. MDA's emergency response capability is always the fastest and most professional - the ability to move from command to execution in a crisis, both operationally and technologically unprecedentedly fast. Thanks to MDA's activities through “Magen Avot” - we were able to save many elderly people and protect the elderly. The current challenge is to expand the testing system in Israel immediately. "Through MDA's sample system, we will be able to open a window for all Israeli citizens."
MDA Director General Eli Bin: "I thank the coronavirus czar, Professor Gamzu for his work and his great contribution to the huge and complex challenge called "COVID19". Thanks to his work, past and present - we at MDA are able to meet the task assigned to us and provide professional treatment to the citizens of Israel citizenship. Fast, efficient and high quality. We thank Professor Gamzu for his many years of public work and for being an MDA partner - in routine and emergency times."
