A delegation from the Emirates Red Crescent (ERC), the Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation and the Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation, in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, visited the Amdjarass-based UAE field hospital in Chad.
The Amdjarass-based field hospital, established by the UAE to support Sudanese refugees in Chad, has successfully treated 1,220 cases since its inauguration on 9th July 2023.
The hospital, opened under the directive of President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, focuses on cases involving women, children, the elderly and those with chronic diseases.
The hospital revealed that, since it opened, it has received 65 orthopaedic cases, 104 surgical, and 1,051 internal, in addition to performing ten operations. It is also currently accommodating ten inpatients to provide them with the required treatment until they are cleared to be discharged.
The hospital is part of the UAE’s humanitarian, relief and medical aid to support Sudanese people affected by the conflict in Sudan, which has been ongoing since last April. It is also in line with the UAE’s efforts to support the Republic of Chad in its response to alleviate pressures entailed by the humanitarian situation resulting from the influx of Sudanese refugees to Chad.
Since the beginning of the conflict, the UAE has operated an air and sea bridge, transporting nearly 2,000 tonnes of medical, food and relief materials to Port Sudan to support those affected inside Sudan and to the Republic of Chad to support Sudanese refugees.
Since the conflict started on April 15, the UAE has operated an air and sea bridge to the region, transporting nearly 2,000 tonnes of medical, food and relief materials to Port Sudan and Chad.
The fighting, which is centred in Khartoum, erupted on April 15, when a power struggle between rival army generals spilt into all-out war.
It has killed thousands and displaced three million people, of whom more than 700,000 crossed into neighboring nations, chiefly Egypt, Chad, the Central African Republic and South Sudan, in search of a safe haven.
