Dear ,
[Anesthesiologists, Surgeons - – This email will be followed by another email with specific information applicable to you and your specialty]
Over the last few days, we have been working with the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Israel Medical Association (IMA) to streamline credentialing procedures, while already fielding requests for clinical/medical and non-clinical volunteers. As expected during war time, government ministries are overwhelmed and thus function on an emergency prioritizing basis. Almost 6,000 clinical/medical personnel have signed up to volunteer from 40+ countries. THANK YOU!
EMA Care’s objective is creating a single data bank of clinical/medical volunteers for hospitals and medical institutions throughout Israel. As part of the pre- credentialing process, we will be independently verifying your information through licensing boards, etc. and forwarding that verified information to the MOH. We have been directed by the MOH to focus initially on credentialing physicians in the specialties that it believes will first be in demand, Anesthesiologists, Surgeons (trauma, general etc.), and Pharmacists. Other medical specialties will be prioritized following additional directives from the MOH.
For those of you that have already received credentialing emails and have responded – THANK YOU. For others, please do not send us your credentials until we ask for them so that we can function in a most efficient manner.
Should you have any questions, please email us at Volunteers@EMACare.com.
Thank you for your support, loyalty, and kindness during these difficult times.
Best Wishes,
Yigal Marcus (in partnership with Dr. Eliana Aaron and EMA Care)
