Jakarta (Antara Bali) - Built with the help of public funds, the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, Palestine, is set to open in February 2015, according to Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) Indonesia spokesman dr Sarbini Abdul Murad.
"The physical building of the hospital has been completed, and the supporting medical equipment is being made ready for the hospital to open soon," Sarbini said here on Friday.
In the company of the campaign director of the Indonesian hospital in Gaza, Luly Larissa Aqil, and his secretary Rima Manzarianis, Sarbini reported the progress of the hospital to the deputy foreign affairs minister on Friday.
According to Sarbini, a non-governmental organisation has collected nearly $15 million from both Indonesia's poor and rich to build the first Indonesian hospital in the Gaza Strip.
He said the hospital, which will serve those Palestinians living in northern Gaza, is nearly finished and awaiting some equipment before it starts receiving patients.
When in operation, the hospital will provide an emergency care unit with a surgery room, an intensive care unit with 10 beds and five ventilators, a polyclinic, laboratory and radiology department with a portable X-ray machine, he noted. (WDY)
