The Ministry of Health has alerted the public that the company "Matzil Chaim" (Saving Life) has been operating without authorization to conduct emergency medical technician and ambulance driver training for the past three years. The ministry received certificates of trainees who allegedly completed such courses with the company. According to transportation regulations, the Ministry of Transportation does not issue driving permits to individuals not trained by a company approved by the Ministry of Health. Consequently, anyone who underwent training with "Matzil Chaim" will need to repeat their training at a recognized institution. The public is advised to verify training provider approvals on the ministry's website before purchasing such services. Further information and inquiries can be directed to the "Kol HaBriut" (Voice of Health) hotline at *5400. A list of approved training companies is available on the ministry's website.
