BASRA — The new Basra Children’s Hospital, a 94-bed pediatric cancer treatment facility, is currently under construction and is scheduled to open for patients in February 2009.
The Gulf Region South Corps of Engineers Basra Area Office is responsible for over 40 reconstruction sites in the city. Site surveys are an integral part of the process to ensuring that projects are completed on time so Iraqis in the city have the infrastructure they need for every part of their lives.
