A specialists ISS Training Academy has also been created onboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel, adjacent to the exhibition centre, where all FM staff will receive the appropriate training before entering the new hospital.

A huge well done to all of the #GreatPeople for making this happen and helping to create solutions for Covid-19.
