A number of the Arab Health Ministers have lauded setting up of Emirates World Humanitarian Mobile Hospital, which offers comprehensive medical services and train medical cadres as per world class standard.
Bahraini Minister of Health His Excellency Faisal Al Hamr said the idea of Emirates mobile hospital "is unique of its kind in the world. It is a pioneer step in the humanitarian voluntary work. The services rendered by the hospital are added to the voluntary and charity achievements scored by the UAE in this field." "The Bahraini Health ministry is ready to take part in the medical work through providing specialist doctors and technicians since this humanitarian work eases suffering of the needy patients amidst soaring costs of the treatment worldwide", he said.
Syrian Health Minister Rida Saeed, said that Emirates Mobile Hospital "is a civilised step, which will boost quality of voluntary medical work through provision of the best medical services to the needy", adding that the voluntary medical services worldwide usually offer medical services for short time not exceeding two weeks at best, but Emirates Mobile Hospital provides medical services in each country for continuous three months- a procedure that enables the medical team to accurately diagnose and offer good treatment.
He added that the Syrian Ministry of Health has provided doctors and technicians to further make such a landmark medical work a success.
On his part, Minister of Health in South Sudan Joseph Wejang thanked His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Representative of Ruler in Western Region and Chairman of the Red Crescent Authority, for choosing South Sudan as the first station of Emirates Mobile Hospital, adding that the move "reflects depth of the relations between the UAE and Sudan". He added that the Sudanese people will not forget such a generosity, which is currently being offered by the UAE.
He underscored that tens of patients pour daily to Emirates Mobile Hospital in South Sudan, to receive treatment and medicines free from the UAE national, Arab and international medical cadres.
