Mercy Malaysia To Rebuild Nursing, Pharmacy Schools In Aceh

Mercy Malaysia will rebuild and manage the nursing and pharmacy schools here which were destroyed by the Dec 26 earthquake and tsunami.
Its president Datuk Dr Jemilah Mahmood said Mercy would work with Universiti Sains Malaysia to build the first phase of the two schools soon.
Mercy expected to spend about RM8 million on the project to meet the pressing need for nurses and pharmacists, she told Bernama here Sunday.
She said many nurses and pharmacists died in the twin earthquake and tsunami disasters while some who survived were too traumatised and unable to carry on working.
