Islamic Relief to Hand Over Ten Health Clinics in Aceh

On Saturday the 24th of December, Islamic Relief will hand over ten health clinics to the local authorities in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, Indonesia.

The facilities include one community health centre, two sub-community health centres, four village maternity clinics in Aceh Besar, and three village integrated health posts in Banda Aceh.

Islamic Relief constructed and equipped the health clinics as part of the organization’s efforts to rebuild Aceh in response to the 26th December 2004 Tsunami.

The handover ceremony will include dance and music performances and a “convoy” to visit the newly constructed clinics.
