A joint Afghan and Coalition medical team conducted medical screenings and provided routine treatment to more than 490 local citizens, including 230 children.
Working with local leaders, the team set up a temporary treatment facility at an ANCOP station in Kandahar City. The team treated citizens suffering from various health conditions, such as back and joint pain, stomach ailments, common “This was the most rewarding mission I have personally been involved with since I’ve been here,” said one Soldier who participated in the medical treatment. “I saw the reactions of mothers as their children received necessary care, and it made me think that we all just want what’s best for our families.” As a safety measure, Afghan and Coalition forces escorted the medical team. |
