The hospital, which includes 75 beds, 20 oxygen cylinders, and two operating theatres, was sent by the UAE as part of a wide-ranging relief aid package. 

Reportedly, the hospital will contribute to a rapid medical response unit for people who require urgent medical assistance. The main aim of the UAE is to provide rapid medical intervention and life-saving treatment to the victims of the earthquake.
