This includes the present military hospital, civilian doctor's surgery, dentist, community health services, birthing unit, and even the camp fire brigade. The present hospital' s operating theatre is no included in the proposal. The complex, if approved, would be sited at the main entrance to the camp, allowing easy access to the housing area.

The existing hospital facilities that date back to World War II will be retained for future expansion or overflow in the case of an emergency.
