Din Syamsuddin, Chairman of Muhammadiyah, tours the U.S. military’s field hospital in Bantul on June 4th. USAID is providing vehicles, medical supplies, and translators to the field hospital that was established to provide emergency medical relief to the people of Bantul in the days immediately following the devastating earthquake of May 27th.

On June 4, 2006, Din Syamsuddin, Chairman of Muhammadiyah, the largest Muslim organization in the world, visited the U.S. military field hospital to view the US Government's earthquake relief operations.

Mr. Syamsuddin toured the hospital facilities and talked with U.S. military doctors, USAID staff and USAID-funded interpreters who are assisting by translating the doctors' directions for patients and their families. Din Syamsuddin was impressed with the high quality operation and the outpouring of support from the U.S. for earthquake victims. "I consider the marine hospital and all the crews our honored guests to support us in safeguarding the life and dignity of the affected people," he said.
