MDA Bloomberg Station in Jerusalem. The simulator will be used to train Magen David Adom Israel’s ambulance drivers. In the Emergency Medical field, every second can mean the difference between life and death. MDA teams and ambulances often rush to patients having to manoeuvre through traffic at fast speeds in challenging conditions.
