Aerial view of the hospital established by the 1st (Australian) Field Hospital (1 Fd Hosp), deployed with INTERFET, the International Force in East Timor, in the grounds of the museum in Dili. The central domed building, known to troops as 'The Squeezer', had a ward on the lower floor, and the Commanding Officer's offices on the top floor. The tent attached to this building (to the right hand side of the flight of steps) was used for imaging, and the tent to the right of this for psychiatric care. To the right of this tent can be seen the fleet of vans used for medical evacuation. A second ward was located in the pitched-roof structure visible immediately above the domed building. To the right of this, the large square building contained a kitchen and dining area (on the lower floor), and accommodation (on the upper floor). Further accommodation was located in the other square building (top left). The operating theatre was located in an air-inflated tent with a white canopy (bottom left), with the intensive care unit visible immediately above. Above this were pathology, another ward (in another air-inflated tent), and a physiotherapy unit. The small tent at the bottom of the photograph was used for triage; the larger pitched-roof tent just above and to the right was the resuscitation unit. The tents to the bottom right housed the Primary Health Care Team, and accommodation for the Commanding Officer, Regimental Sergeant Major, and other senior officers. The hospital was used to provide Level 3 healthcare support, including surgery and intensive care, to INTERFET.
