MDA officials report that a working relationship was developed with Burgos emergency medical services as a result and since that tragic incident, MDA has assisted their agency considerably during the past year. MDA is proud to announce its ongoing efforts have undoubtedly led to saving lives in Bulgaria as a result.

MDA Chief of Operations Eli Bin will be on hand to present Burgos officials with the new ambulance, with Bin praising his organization for taking the initiative and working with Burgos officials as Israel’s leading EMS provider.
