The expansions of the Emirati-Jordanian Field Hospital, carried out through a generous contribution by H.H. Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ajman, were opened yesterday in the Jordanian city of Al Mafraq.

The expansions were opened on behalf of Sheikh Humaid by Hamad bin Ghlaita Al Ghafli, Member of the Federal National Council, in presence of the UAE Ambassador to Jordan Bilal Rabee Al Bodour.

Al Ghafli said the field hospital, which is part of the UAE contributions to alleviate suffering of needy people, provides services to more than 1,000 patients a day.

Mohammed Abdullah Al Shamsi, the Emirati relief team leader and director of the Emirati-Jordanian Camp, said the hospital was built to help the Syrian refugees and to support the efforts made by Jordan in hosting to help them.

He added that the hospital expansion works started after a visit made by His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi to the hospital, during which, he issued his directives to construct a section for surgeries, in addition to eye and ENT clinics.
