First Line Med is a volunteer-based task force that delivers emergency medical supplies to soldiers and civilians in Israel’s front lines during the country’s current crisis.
Our team consists of 110 volunteers, including doctors, paramedics, business and tech executives, financial and operations experts, all working tirelessly to help our Israeli brothers and sisters.
First Line Med
Our mission is to provide critical and lifesaving medical equipment in response to real time demand, working as an end-to-end operation. We work in coordination with the IDF, the Ministry of Health, Sheba Hospital and the department of customs and VAT. These collaborations enable us to immediately get critical supplies to where they are needed.
Our Mission
-
We have supplied and fulfilled the requests for over 700 ATLS, BLS and advanced trauma kits for medics and doctors in the army, as well as in the Civilian Emergency Squads.
-
We orchestrated the donation and shipment of 7 aircrafts worth of medical equipment to Israel.
Our Impact to Date
A considerate selection of the communities we support is an integral aspect of our mission. In the initial phase, we chose to prioritize and provide resources to the communities situated within 0-7 kilometers of both the southern and northern borders of Israel. These regions are on the frontline, facing the highest levels of risk and urgency.
How Did We Select The Communities We Are Supporting?
-
To continue to supply medical kits and to gradually increase the quantity of medical kits provided by us.
-
To provide our medical kits and supplies to Civilian Emergency Squads, who were authorized by the state to function as primary responders.
Our Goals For The Future
-
The cost of providing a complete medical kit is approximately $250 USD.
-
In Phase A we aim to provide 1,000 kits at a total cost of $250,000 USD.
-
In Phase B we aim to provide 10,000 kits at a total cost of $2.5M USD.
Current Estimated Budget
The cost of equipping one Civilian Emergency Squad, which includes an average of 16 volunteers, is approximately $24,000. Our aim to equip all 500 squads for a total cost of approximately $12M USD.
