Ambulance Stations To Have FAX For Deaf

Jerusalem Post has reported that the Israel Health Ministry will finance purchase of fax machines for all Magen David Adom ambulance stations so the deaf can call for help. “Health Minister Yeshoshua Matza decided to spend the NIS 50,000 for this at the request of an association for the hearing impaired, which said many deaf people have fax machines to communicate with others, but cannot call an ambulance due to the lack of fax machines in MDA stations.”
