Turkish Hospital On Ukraine-Romania Border Helps Russia-Ukraine Invasion Victims

A field hospital established by Turkey's Health Ministry on the Romania-Ukraine border provides services to the victims of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

According to Daily Sabah, the team from the ministry set up the hospital at the Siret border crossing in Romania's northeastern city of Suceava to assist Turkish nationals being evacuated from Ukraine where the war with Russia rages on.

However, its services were expanded to treat Ukrainian refugees who reach the border after nearly two days of travel by bus or train.

While speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA), Dr. Emrah Arı, who is in charge of the hospital, said that two emergency medicine specialists, two emergency medical technicians, and six assistant health personnel have been on duty for the last seven days.

Arı noted that they also help those injured in the bombings, and added that it was the only field hospital in the region, saying: "We can do all the treatments and interventions that can be done in a state hospital in Turkey.”

“We have a fully equipped emergency service unit with six beds and an emergency observation unit with eight beds. We can make a medical intervention for cardiac arrest patients."
