A humanitarian organization, Indonesia Medical Emergency Rescue Committee (MERC), will join hands with the Indonesian Buddhist Representatives (Walubi) organization to build a hospital in Mrauk-U, Rakhine state, Antara News reported on 14 June.
Dr.Sarbini Abdul Murab, the Chairman of the Presidium of the MERC, was quoted as saying that the construction of the hospital in Rakhine, which has a large Muslim population, would serve as an example that people of different religions can coexist in harmony and peace, just as in Indonesia.
The MERC has purchased a plot of land in Mrauk-U and has the support of the Rakhine government.
