’’By launching this health initiative, the UAE reiterates its sustained efforts to extend medical and humanitarian assistance to those in need across the world,’’ Sheikh Hamdan said in an address at the opening ceremony today read on his behalf by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
’’The hospital will stay three to six months in the area it visits.
Equipped with advanced medical technology and manned by high medical practitioners, the hospital will reach out to patients and injured persons in disaster-hit regions’’he explained.
