“Noshmim Lirvacha” is a registered nonprofit organization founded by a group of parents of ventilated children who recognized the lack of support available for families like theirs.
The organization serves as a unifying community for families with a ventilated member, whether with a tracheostomy (cannula) or external respiratory support. Its mission is to promote and advance all areas that can contribute to the well-being of the patients and their families.
In 2013, it was reported by Kupot Cholim and the Ministry of Health that there were about 500 patients on ventilators being treated at home across the country, both children and adults. Since then, in 10 years, the numbers have doubled!
There are approximately 500 children and 500 adults in the country who are on home ventilation.
The organization operates across the entire country. The families of the organization are spread across more than 28 cities and towns.
The organization has over 60 volunteers with medical-professional training.
The organization holds family gatherings and retreats throughout the year.
