AMMAN — HRH Crown Prince Hussein on Wednesday inaugurated the Ministry of Health’s Maan Field Hospital for COVID-19 patients.

Crown Prince Hussein toured the field hospital, which was built in 26 days, has the capacity of 246 beds — including 48 intensive care unit beds — and covers an area of 4,400 square metres on the grounds of the Maan Public Hospital, according to a Royal Court statement.

His Royal Highness was briefed by Health Minister Nathir Obeidat, who said the field hospital serves the southern region and is equipped with a team of 570 personnel.

The Maan Field Hospital is the fourth COVID-19 hospital to be opened, after His Majesty King Abdullah recently inaugurated two military field hospitals in Zarqa and Irbid, and a public field hospital in Amman
