United Hatzalah recently announced a plan that will eventually see 600 private ambulances, operated by United Ambulance of Israel, that will now be alerted to those in need by United Hatzalah\'s dispatch.
The new initiative, referred to as \"600+600,\" means that when any emergency is received by United Hatzalah’s emergency number of 1221, the dispatcher will alert the organization’s 5,000 emergency medical service (EMS) volunteers, who arrive on-scene in just three minutes or less, as well as ambulances from the 600-ambulance consortium and the national ambulance service.
