Samaritan’s Purse has officially transported one of its Emergency Field Hospitals to Calgary. Officials say the reason, is to increase the Christian agency’s capacity to launch international life-saving medical responses. The tent facility arrived at the Calgary International Airport on Tuesday on board the Christian relief group’s DC-8 and 757 cargo planes. Officials say the hospital will be set up at the Samaritan’s Purse Canada warehouse. Melanie Wubs served in the Emergency Field Hospital abroad and she says it is fully mobile, operational and ready to be flown out on a moment’s notice.
