“For years, we had known we would eventually have to build a new blood-services center to accommodate the growing needs of Israel’s rapidly growing population,” said Eli Bin, director-general of Magen David Adom. “But that conflict also highlighted the need for a new facility that would be protected against missile, biological, and chemical attack.
The facility is crucial to Israel’s security, because Magen David Adom collects, safety-tests, and distributes nearly all the blood in Israel, including all the blood used by IDF soldiers in times of war and peace. As a result, the project has been classified as a strategic priority by Israel’s Home Front Command and by the Prime Minister’s Office.
Magen David Adom Australia supporters have already purchased 1 room in the new Marcus National Blood Services Centre and would love to be able to contribute further.
If you are interested in this project and would like to know more please contact the Magen David Adom Australia office on (03) 9272 5633 or email info@magendavidadom.com.au
