Temporary malfunction in the poison center's telephone lines
The National Poison Center, which operates within the framework of Rambam Hospital in Haifa, reports a temporary malfunction in the telephone lines connected to it. The center, which serves as a central advisory body regarding poisoning cases throughout the country, is currently not available directly via its regular telephone lines. The spokeswoman noted that this is a temporary malfunction, but no estimated date for its repair was provided.
Referring the public to the MDA hotline in emergencies
Due to the malfunction, the public is asked to contact the Magen David Adom hotline directly in an emergency requiring advice in the field of poisoning. The MDA hotline will serve as an intermediary, through which the connection to professional advice on poisoning will be made. This is an alternative solution designed to ensure that the public will continue to receive a professional and rapid response even during the malfunction, and will not be left without necessary medical advice in cases of poisoning.
