The news agency reported that the KBZ Center Mandalay, which will provide long-term relief and assistance to earthquake-affected people for at least 1 to 5 years, is being firmly built.
U Aung Ko Win, KBZ Foundation Patron, gave instructions to build KBZ Center Mandalay when he visited Sagaing and Mandalay on April 2, and a total of Ks.45 billion was donated to the foundation, including KBZ Center Mandalay.
The centre currently under construction will include a 24-hour command office, Call Center, Information and Administration Center, Treatment Center, Medical and First Aid Points, Doctor Consultant Rooms, ECG and Ultrasound Rooms, Meeting Rooms, Doctor and Nurse Lounges, Blood Collection Room, Medicine Room, and Health Education Room. It will also continuously provide the public with water, electricity, food, and medicines.
In addition, a center will be opened to provide free medical treatment to around 700 patients per day. It will have a minor surgery room, two mental health treatment rooms, four specialist clinics, and seven general treatment rooms.
The center will also include two free dining halls that can accommodate around 140 people at a time, public bathrooms that can accommodate 24 people at a time, restrooms, and temporary gas stoves.
KBZ Foundation is striving to complete the KBZ Center Mandalay using machinery and manpower. As of April 18, 85 per cent of the work has been completed, according to a press release.
