Israel's Ministry of Health is warning the public against using "Hana Ambulance" services, which operated in Shfaram and is no longer licensed. The ministry's decision to halt the company's operations was upheld by the court after it rejected the company's appeal.
According to the ministry, multiple complaints were filed regarding the company's conduct over the past three years. Subsequent investigations revealed instances where ambulances were operated in violation of ministry regulations. Specifically, ambulances were used as intensive care units with unapproved staff and equipment, and in operational formats not sanctioned by the ministry.
These findings led to the decision to cease the company's activities, a decision now finalized by the court's rejection of the appeal. The Ministry of Health emphasizes the importance of verifying that ambulance service providers are licensed and adhere to regulations to ensure patient safety and proper medical care. The public is urged to check a company's licensing before booking an ambulance.
