The Magen David Adom (Hebrew: מגן דוד אדום, acronym: MDA, pronounced MAH-dah per its Hebrew acronym, מד״א), is Israel's national emergency medical, disaster, ambulance, and blood bank service. The literal meaning of the name is "Red Shield of David," but the symbol is more frequently called the "Red Star of David" in many languages. Since June 2006, Magen David Adom has been officially recognised by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) as the national aid society of the State of Israel under the Geneva Conventions, and a member of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. MDA has a dedicated medical emergency phone number in Israel, 101.[3]
