The Czech children's mobile clinic which flied to Sri Lanka on Monday with 17 medical workers from Liberec, north Bohemia, will open on Friday, the team's head Jaromir Dolansky said shortly before his flight to Asia.
The team will work together with four Czech rescuers who arrived in Sri Lanka last week.
The mobile clinic is to temporarily replace a children's hospital, which was destroyed by the tsunami following the earthquake on Dec. 26, 2004.
Dolansky said the clinic's location has been already chosen. The facility will be in the town of Galle, whose surrounding area was especially heavily struck by the disaster.
Tereza Kosarova from the team said the aircraft with the clinic will arrive in Sri Lanka on Tuesday morning at local time. The team will start to build the clinic immediately.
Kosarova said the clinic will mainly provide preliminary treatment and patients with complicated injuries will be transported to better-equipped hospitals in the island's capital city Colombo.
