Emergency medical assistance

In an emergency, act first and sort out insurance later. KEY NUMBERS • 101: Magen David Adom (ambulance) • 100: Police • 102: Fire and rescue WHAT TO DO • Call 101 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room. • Tell them your location. If you do not speak Hebrew, say "English, please." • Bring your passport and insurance information if you can, but do not delay care to find them. URGENT CARE For non-life-threatening problems, urgent care centers such as Terem often have shorter waits than hospitals and are open late. AFTERWARD • Contact your insurance company as soon as you can. Some require notice within 24 to 48 hours. • Keep every receipt, discharge paper, and report. • Tell your school if you were hospitalized. TIPS • Save these numbers in your phone and learn the nearest hospital to your home. • Know your blood type and any allergies. Keep a note in your phone. • Shabbat and holidays don't stop emergency care. Hospitals are always open.
