A third
batch of medical volunteers of senior doctors and specialists have arrived in
the Republic of Nepal to work within the UAE medical volunteers' team, who are
providing therapeutic services for
people affected by the earthquake that killed about 8,000 people and injured
other 17,000.
The move follows the initiative of the Zayed Giving Initiative, Saudi
German Hospital and
Dar Al Ber Society, and with the strategic partnership of Kathmandu University Hospital.
Dr. Reem Osman, Executive Director of the Saudi-German Hospital, and
ambassador of humanitarian work, said that the third batch of medical
volunteers reached Nepal to join the UAE-Nepalese joint medical team, which has
been operating for several weeks to ease the suffering of hundreds of people
affected by the quake.
She stressed that none of the UAE volunteers were affected by the
strong new quake that hit Nepal yesterday, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale.
