Free Health Care for Afghanis


John Kerry should be partly satisfied. This is from CentCom:

Doctors from the Cooperative Medical Assistance/Surgeon Cell of Bagram Airfield teamed up with doctors from the Khost Provincial Health Director and the Khost Provincial Reconstruction Team to provide free health care for residents of Khost City Feb. 11. They also provided medical care for refugees at a camp on the outskirts of the city, Feb. 12.
The Medical Civil Assistance Program in downtown Khowst was held at the women’s affairs clinic, and focused its efforts on treating women and children from the surrounding area. The doctors treated a total of 987 patients, with 378 women, 362 children and even 10 men.
The next day, the team moved on to the Matun refugee camp, where they treated 1,428 people and 197 animals. Of that number, 204 men and 174 women were seen by medics, and 300 men and 227 women were seen by the physicians. Five hundred and sixteen children were de-wormed and given vitamins.


Good job, folks, and thank for for spreading the best of America to the Third World.
