The UAE Field Hospital Begins Operations In Afghanistan

 The United Arab Emirates’ 1000-square-meter field hospital has begun operations in Afghanistan after a strong earthquake wreaked havoc in the country last month. 

Under the direction of the President of the UAE, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE has been helping Afghanistan by providing a wide-ranging relief aid package.

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. 

Eisa Aldhaheri, UAE Ambassador to Afghanistan, said, "Establishing the field hospital comes as part of the UAE's efforts to provide treatment to those in difficult-to-reach areas most affected by the earthquake."

UAE help Afghanistan

Under the directives of the President, an air bridge carrying food and medical supplies has also begun operating in Afghanistan. The president issued an order to create an air bridge to assist victims impacted by the earthquake. 

The UAE-founded Fatima Bint Mohamed Bin Zayed Initiative (FBMI) also sent medical support, including non-communicable disease (NCD) kits and testing equipment for cholera, and doctors to victims in Afghanistan. The initiative was launched to provide primary healthcare to the victims. 

The Emirates Red Crescent and the Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation also delivered at least 30 tonnes of aid to the victims under the direction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. 

Last week, a flight departed from UAE to Afghanistan, carrying 24.5 metric tonnes of medicines to affected areas in Afghanistan. The medical aid also reached parts of Paktika province, near the border with Pakistan. 

Last month, the earthquake in Afghanistan resulted in thousands of deaths and injuries. Reportedly, 1,150 people were killed and over 2,000 people were injured. 

More Afghans need rapid medical aid and continued care.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared that Israel will “take control of all” of the Gaza Strip, signaling an unprecedented escalation in the ongoing conflict. In a video posted to Telegram, Netanyahu emphasized that military operations are advancing rapidly, with no intention of backing down. “The fighting is intense, and we are making progress,” he said, framing the offensive as necessary for Israel’s long-term security.

The Israeli military has ordered mass evacuations in southern Gaza, warning residents of Khan Yunis and surrounding areas to flee immediately ahead of a devastating assault.

It has stepped up on the list with a pioneering treatment led by Abu Dhabi. The capital has witnessed a revolutionary process that focuses on the safety and efficacy of using the CAR T-Cell treatment module especially for hematologic or blood cancers such as lymphoma, myeloma, and certain types of leukemia.

The T-Cells will be locally reprogrammed and tested for their effectiveness so that they get better results when it comes to treating cancer.   The unit for the stem cell treatment ADSCC was founded in 2019 and since then it has grown threefold when it comes to experimenting wit...
