Ziv Medical Services

What Ziv Medical Services does

Ziv Medical Services (זיו שירותי רפואה) is a private Israeli emergency medicine training and medical services company founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hadera, Israel. The firm delivers a structured portfolio of courses ranging from a 4-hour CPR and defibrillator refresher to a 44-hour comprehensive first aid responder course, alongside a 16-hour ACLS program aligned with American Heart Association 2015 guidelines, a proprietary cardiac arrhythmia identification course, and a 4-week English-language Combat Medic Course. Training is conducted on-site at client locations or at the company's offices, using advanced simulation manikins, audiovisual presentations, and clinical simulation tools, and all instruction is personally delivered by founder Ziv Pri-Tal, an EMT-P paramedic, Ministry of Health-certified professional, and AHA ACLS instructor with prior academic teaching at Ben-Gurion University's Faculty of Medicine.

The company's revenue is generated through three streams: professional services revenue from per-participant or per-group training course fees, hardware sales of semi-automatic defibrillators (Philips HeartStart OnSite, Physio-Control LIFEPAK 1000), resuscitation kits, and first aid cabinets, and per-trip professional services fees for medical accompaniment of corporate and group international travel. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with billing structured around multi-year training contracts. Distribution is entirely direct, with no resellers or channel partners, and marketing relies primarily on the founder's reputation, client testimonials, and referrals. The company was among the initiators of Israel's 2008 law mandating defibrillator placement in public places, an institutional positioning that has supported two decades of enterprise and government client relationships across energy, healthcare, defense, telecommunications, manufacturing, and government sectors.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• ProTrainings: ProTrainings offers blended online and in-person CPR, AED, and first aid certification across Europe and internationally. Its digital-first model represents an emerging alternative to instructor-only EMS training that could pressure Ziv's traditional classroom approach.

Direct peers

• MEDIC First Aid: MEDIC First Aid is a workplace-focused CPR, AED, and first aid training program used by enterprises and safety professionals. Its structured certification paths and OSHA-aligned curriculum compete with Ziv's 4-hour to 44-hour organizational first aid course ladder.
• St. John Ambulance Israel: St. John Ambulance provides first aid and CPR training in Israel, including workplace, community, and youth programs. As a long-standing institutional training provider, it competes for the same private and corporate first aid certification market Ziv addresses.
• Health & Safety Institute (HSI): HSI is a large US-based workplace safety and EMS training provider offering CPR, AED, and first aid certification programs to enterprises. Its blended-learning model and instructor network make it a directly comparable peer for Ziv's organizational training offering.
• Magen David Adom (MDA Israel): Israel's national emergency medical service and Red Cross society. MDA runs extensive first aid, CPR, and AED training programs for the Israeli public and workplaces, directly competing with Ziv Medical Services for corporate and institutional training contracts in Israel.

Broad incumbents

• Philips HeartStart (training partner network): Philips sells the HeartStart OnSite AED that Ziv resells and trains on, and operates an authorized training partner ecosystem. As the OEM, Philips represents both a hardware supplier and a competing training channel for AED customers globally.
• American Heart Association (AHA) Training Centers: The AHA sets the ACLS/BLS standards that Ziv Pri-Tal is certified to teach, and operates a global network of authorized training centers. AHA's content, instructor network, and digital eLearning platform represent the broad incumbent ecosystem against which Ziv positions its instructor-led ACLS courses.
• International Red Cross / Red Crescent (Israeli branch): The Israeli Red Cross society provides first aid and CPR training across workplaces, schools, and communities. As a globally recognized brand with volunteer scale, it competes for the same enterprise, government, and consumer training segments that Ziv serves.
• Stryker / Physio-Control LIFEPAK: Stryker's Physio-Control division manufactures the LIFEPAK 1000 AED sold by Ziv and supports its own training and certification programs. As the defibrillator OEM, Stryker represents an equipment-and-training incumbent that can bundle training with hardware sales.

Regional players

• Israeli Heart Society: The Israeli Heart Society is a national medical professional association that promotes cardiac care education, including ACLS-aligned training for clinicians in Israel. It competes for the medical-personnel ACLS training segment that Ziv's ACLS course targets.
