LONDON: The Jordanian Field Hospital began providing medical services on Monday to Palestinians in Nablus, a city in the northern West Bank, as part of humanitarian efforts to assist the Palestinian people.
The hospital treated a total of 668 patients on its first day, including cases that required minor surgeries, chronic disease follow-ups, laboratory testing, and emergency care in internal medicine, according to the Petra news agency.
The Jordanian Armed Forces dispatched 10 medical teams to operate in the hospital, which began its operations in September 2023, just before the start of the war in Gaza. The facility includes radiology and sterilization units, a pharmacy, and clinics for pediatrics, gynecology, internal medicine, surgery, orthopedics, dermatology, and dentistry, as well as two operating rooms and intensive care units.
The ninth medical team deployed by the Jordanian military returned to Amman last week after treating approximately 20,600 patients and performing over 90 major and minor surgical operations.
