Our Mobile Free Pharmacy Van is Launched!

How do you make sure that even the most remote city, the most destitute patient, the elderly, handicapped and infirm – all receive life-saving and pain-relieving medication, for free?

For the last 5 years, Haverim's Free Pharmacy has been supplying more and more poor, needy, handicapped and elderly people with the medicine they simply can't afford. We've been making sure they no longer have to choose between medicine – and food.

But mailing out 3,800 packages a month still doesn't address all the needs of our community: we must extend our reach and make sure every person in need receives the medication they need.

At Haverim, we decided to initiate a project that will ensure that even more people will receive the free medication and medical devices they need - all for free.

Our objectives?

The Mobile Pharmacy is expected to decrease the costs of collecting and distributing medication by 30%, while enabling us to double the number of recipients!

The vans will be custom-built to meet the strict criteria of the Ministry of Health, regarding pharmaceutical transport, refrigeration and storage.

In addition, we will use state of the art 'Cool Meds Boxes' to transport the medicine from the van to the patients, with specially-designed GPS-monitored and temperature-controlled systems that ensure we know the status and location of each package at each time.

Launching the van - in the presence of Mr. Yakov Litzman, Minister of Health, and additional VIPs

On April 8th, in the presence of the Minister of Health, our partners in this venture: CEOs of the leading pharmaceutical companies in Israel and abroad; the mayor of Bnei Brak and more - we cut the ribbon and officially launched the van.

We look forward to servicing our patients in over 300 communities throughout the country.
