Fifth Indonesian medical team arrives at UAE Floating Hospital in Al Arish

A fifth batch of Indonesian medical personnel has arrived at the UAE Floating Hospital in Al Arish, Egypt, to provide medical care for Palestinian patients and those wounded arriving from the Gaza Strip under "Operation Chivalrous Knight 3".

The batch includes specialists in orthopedics, surgery, anesthesia, internal medicine, and radiology, which enables them to receive different cases and provide them with the necessary care. 

The collaboration aims to enhance the specialised care services and strengthen the facility's capacity to handle critical cases amidst the ongoing conflict in the Strip. 

The participation of Indonesian medical staff underscores the strength of UAE–Indonesia relations and reflects a shared commitment to easing the suffering of the Palestinian people.

The UAE Floating Hospital has delivered more than 12,000 medical services since its opening on February 23, 2024, with over 5,200 surgeries completed,  6,500 physiotherapy sessions conducted, and 26 prosthetic limbs fitted for patients that have evacuated from Gaza.

The 100-bed hospital features integrated operating rooms, intensive care units, laboratories, and radiology departments.
