Mission to set up field hospital in Myanmar put on hold


TAPAH: The mission to deploy medical officers to Myanmar to set up a field hospital, which was scheduled to depart yesterday, has been postponed at the request of Myanmar's authorities, says Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

He said the Myanmar government had requested the postponement as they were still identifying a safe and strategic location for the hospital's operations, which was part of Malaysia's humanitarian aid efforts following the devastating earthquake on March 28.
