Change of functions in the field hospital created by France
After the earthquakes in Turkey, Turkish search and rescue and medical teams are gradually returning to their countries under the organization of the French Agency for Civil Security and Crisis Management (Securite Civile).
The French team, which set up a field hospital in an area of 1,000 square meters in the Gölbaşı district of Adıyaman and treated the earthquake victims, returned to their country yesterday and handed over their duties to the new team from France.
