The Development Team for the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) in Indonesia recently left for Myanmar to conduct a land survey to build a hospital.
The team, consisting of the head of the Indonesian construction team, Ishan Taleb and Farid Taleb, from the emergency medical rescue committee and land expert Adros al-Attas, traveled from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Tangerang, Banten province.
According to the Miraj news agency, Adros said the team will clarify some things that will be explained later to the Minister of Health in Myanmar about the general picture of the hospital to be built by the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C) with the Indonesian Red Cross.
“We will ensure the details of the design that we are making, and we are adjusting them with the local authority.”
He revealed that the construction will be in two phases. On this first visit the team will ensure the infrastructure, such as the foundation, existing land height and others.
“Because on the edge of the river, the surface of the earth must be lifted. We will decide immediately who will do the job. This week we will work effectively. Networks that we can access. We will use the local contractor, and we only manage. ”
Salman al-Farsi, an expert in the Ministry of Institutional Affairs, has been appointed head of communication between all humanitarian agencies that wish to assist in this task.
The planned Indonesian hospital will be built on a 4,000-square-meter plot of land in the village of Myung Tui and Mar-yu, on the edge of the Arakan River.
Ishshan, who heads the volunteer team at the Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MER-C), said the hospital would provide health services to Buddhists and Muslims in Myanmar in one place, not separately.
