Following an order from the Ministry of Health, United Hatzalah has been instructed to immediately cease use of oxygen cylinders under a national recall.
While this is a preventive, system-wide safety measure and did not involve any United Hatzalah responders or equipment, it requires immediate action.
All of our oxygen tanks must now be replaced.
That means thousands of volunteers across Israel responding to cardiac arrests, severe allergic reactions, respiratory emergencies, and trauma, must urgently resupply the oxygen they carry on their ambulances, ambucyles, and in their medic kits.
Oxygen is not optional. It is not secondary equipment. It is the first line of lifesaving care.
We are launching an emergency nationwide replacement effort to inspect and replace all 15,000 oxygen cylinders as quickly as possible, ensuring that no responder arrives at a scene without the ability to give a patient the breath that keeps them alive.
Thank you United Hatzalah for all you do in Israel, with love and respect.
