BAGRAM AIR BASE, Afghanistan, May 1, 2008 A coalition medical team conducted medical screenings and provided routine treatment to 65 local citizens, including 25 children, in the Kama district of Afghanistans Nangarhar province April 27.
The team treated citizens suffering from various health conditions ranging from digestive disorders and eye problems to joint pain. In addition to the medical screenings and treatment, the coalition forces also provided free flour, rice and milk to the citizens. I found helping the Afghan people to be a rewarding experience, said one servicemember who participated in the medical treatment operation. Throughout almost 30 years of war and strife, the Afghans have remained proud and strong. It was a privilege to help them stay strong and healthy.
