MUZAFFARABAD, 26 May 2006 — The United Arab Emirates is to rebuild the main hospital in earthquake-ravaged Pakistani Kashmir at a cost of up to $20 million, officials said yesterday. “A 400-bed hospital equipped with the latest facilities would be constructed to support and help our affected brethren,” Juma Mubarak Aljunaibi, a representative of the UAE president, said in Muzaffarabad. A memorandum of understanding would be later signed in Islamabad between Pakistan and the UAE government and the reconstruction of the Combined Military Hospital would cost about $16 to $20 million, Aljunaibi said.
