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.
