Medical review board

The medical review board considers the residents’ requests for special protective kits issued for medical reasons. Persons with special medical needs and restrictions, must apply to the medical review board with a request for the issue of a special protective kit.

Residents who have received the medical board authorization for special kits in the past, are recorded in the Home Front Command databank and will receive the appropriate kit during the distribution drive, without need for additional application to the medical board.

For information regarding your eligibility for a special kit, contact the Home Front Command Information Center, tel. 1207.

The medical board has authority to make the following decisions:

- authorize issue of protective kit with air pump;

- authorize issue of Keisar kit for persons with mental retardation, autism or severe allergy to rubber;

- authorize issue of Super Keisar kit for populations with severe medical problems, such as tracheostomy patients;

- not authorize issue of special protective kits;

- request additional information.

Regulations for applying to the medical board:

The request must be made using a special application filled out by the resident’s treating physician.
The application can be downloaded from the Home Front Command website or received at the Information Center or from the protective kit distributors. Any relevant medical documents, such as illness summaries or hospitalization discharge summaries, must be attached to the application.
The application must be mailed to the following address:

"ועדה רפואית – ערכות מגן", צה"ל – פיקוד העורף, ד.צ 02763

(“Medical review board – protective kits”, IDF, Home Front Command, military mail 02763)

The medical board will review the application and reply to the resident by mail within 21 working days from the day of receiving the application.
Should the medical board approve and authorize the issue of a special kit, the resident must save the authorization document and present it at the distribution point in order to receive his protective kit.
Should the medical board reject the application for a special kit, the decision can be appealed at the Higher Medical Board whose decision will be final and cannot be appealed again. In addition, in case the resident’s medical condition changes, he/she are eligible to apply to the medical board again.
