Jibla hospital reopens [Archives:2003/07/Local News]

JIBLA – The former Baptist hospital in Jibla, where a terrorist attack killed three American mission workers on Dec. 30, reopened in the first week of February with a new name, new leadership and heightened security.
As expected, the hospital, now known as the “Hospital of Peace”, is currently operated by the Yemeni government after its management was transferred to the ministry of health.
Even though the hospital is now known among the public simply as “Jibla Hospital” as the word “Baptist” was erased from the hospital sign even before the shooting took place, yet the local media are calling it “the hospital of peace,” a name to resemble the opposition to the attack that took place in 2002.
