AMMAN — The Jordanian field hospital in Cairo, dubbed “Egypt 13”, has begun its operations in the Egyptian capital, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported on Sunday.

The hospital’s new staff was dispatched to Egypt upon the directives of His Majesty King Abdullah, the Supreme Commander of the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army.

“Egypt 13” will provide healthcare services to the Egyptian people and work to ease the pressure on the Egyptian medical sector, according to Petra.

In the past few years, Jordan dispatched several military field hospitals to various conflict and disaster zones, such as Afghanistan, Libya, Gaza and the West Bank.
