Even in peacetime, emergencies don’t wait, and during wartime, they become even more unpredictable. In many communities across Israel where access to hospitals is limited, a woman in labor constitutes a real medical emergency, for which lifesaving care has not always been available.

That’s why MAGEN DAVID ADOM has launched a groundbreaking initiative to ensure safe births anywhere in Israel.

With over 200 professional midwives — Jewish, Arab, and Druze — volunteering across the country, MAGEN DAVID ADOM is making it possible for women to give birth safely in their homes, on the way to the hospital, or wherever they happen to be when they go into labor.

These midwives are equipped with emergency birth kits, portable ultrasound dopplers, oxygen tanks, and full resuscitation equipment for both mothers and newborns. And they’re trained to respond quickly — using MAGEN DAVID ADOM’s own dispatch system — to deliver care where it’s needed most.

We thank God for these courageous midwives, who are willing to go wherever and whenever they can to serve those in need.

Innovative life-giving programs like this can only grow with your help. When you support MAGEN DAVID ADOM, you ensure that such initiatives can provide care to more areas across Israel and help guarantee that no woman faces childbirth alone — not in war, not in peace, not ever.
