Additional Information / Shotlist The hospital opened in west Mosul on June 23rd provides surgery for war-wounded and emergency C-sections, short-term post-operative care, maternity, an emergency room and a mass casualty intake room for triage. Located approximately three to four kilometres from the front line, it is one of only two hospitals functioning in this part of the city. Less the first 10 days since officially opening its hospital in west Mosul, MSF has treated over 100 patients for war-related injuries, including women and children. However, MSF fears that only a small fraction of residents are able to access medical assistance on time and that many are dying on the battlefield.
In total, MSF is providing medical assistance for people affected by the Mosul crisis in eight project locations in and surrounding the city.
