(MENAFN - Khaleej Times) Emirates World Mobile Humanitarian Hospital will deliver therapeutic, surgical and preventive services to Syrian refugees in Jordan as part of a joint Emirati-Jordanian volunteer medical team.
The hospital was sent to Jordan on the directives of Shaikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler's Representative in the Western Region and Chairman of the Red Crescent Authority (RCA).
Khadem Al Darie, team leader of the hospital, said the move complements the humanitarian operations being carried out by the UAE relief organisations in partnership with their Jordanian counterparts to assist Syrian refugees.
A medical team led by cardiologist Adel Al Shameri toured refugees camps on the northern borders in preparation to draw a three-phase operational plan for the hospital. He said the plan envisages delivery of curative, surgical and preventive services through mobile clinics in the first phase, a 20-bed specialist mobile hospital in the second phase while the final phase will see setting up of a 100-bed hospital to meet the growing demand for health services.
