He added that the hospital will admit residents of the Gaza Strip to alleviate their injuries and reduce the burden on the healthcare staff, who have been under pressure since the beginning of the war.
Captain Dr. Omar Al-Maaytah, a pediatrician and neonatologist at the Jordanian Field Hospital 2, explained that 41 incubators equipped with artificial respiratory devices, intermediate respiratory devices, and necessary treatments for the neonatal department were approved. Other sections include the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) to receive children and difficult cases from the neonatal department.
He emphasized that the neonatal department is ready to provide services for neonatal injuries that may require surgical intervention, whether from war injuries or burn cases.
