The Emirates Relief Field hospital continues to receive the injured and those affected by the recent earthquake in Turkey.

Found in the İslahiye district of Gaziantep, residents flock to the hospital, which is kitted out with a number of specialised departments for emergencies, surgical operations, intensive care, dental care, CT, and x-ray, alongside an outpatient clinic, laboratory and pharmacy.

The 40,000-square-metre medical facility includes inpatient wards with 50 beds and four ICU beds. The hospital is also staffed by 15 specialist doctors as well as 60 nurses and technical assistants.

The Emirati field hospital is the first and largest third-level field hospital that contributes significantly to humanitarian relief efforts in Turkey.
