United Nations Mission in Liberia: Statements.

 

The Defence Forces will be deploying as part of the battalion, a state-of-the-art containerised medical facility, which was recently acquired. The medical facility will be operated by two medical doctors who will be assisted by a team of 13 Defence Forces medical personnel and paramedics. A full surgical medical facility is being provided to the mission by the Netherlands initially and Jordan thereafter. In addition, there is a Red Cross medical facility in Monrovia and a full surgical medical facility in Freetown, which is attached to UNAMSIL and also provided by Jordan. The Jordanians provided a similar facility to our troops in UNMEE, which worked well.
