he government will build a cardiac center at Al-Syifa Hospital in North Gaza, Palestine.
Health Minister Endang Sedyaningsih said that the center would be funded by a Rp 20 billion (US$2.24 million) grant from the Indonesian government to the Gaza community through Islamic Development Bank).
Endang said the government gave the money to Al-Syifa Hospital after its initial plan to build a hospital in Gaza was stymied by land acquisition difficulties.
The center would occupy one floor of the five-story building with a area of 1,500 square meters and be complete within eight months, according to reports.
“The center will be used to perform heart operations. Heart [problems] are one of health problems they take seriously because their stress level is high,” she said, as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.
