Members of the Iraqi Ministry of Health, along with soldiers from the Multi-National Division - Baghdad, conducted a joint medical operation, May 8, to provide needed medical attention to the people in the western neighborhood of Hurriyah.
The ministry spearheaded the operation and provided four physicians. Coalition forces provided two Army surgeons, a physician’s assistant and nearly a dozen medics to help screen and process all of the patients.
This is the second such operation in two months in which the Ministry of Health worked side-by-side with U.S. Army paratroopers from 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment (AIR), 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division.
In addition to providing immunizations for the local children, the medical providers screened more than 400 patients, treating everything from minor bumps and bruises to severe illnesses and mental disabilities. The medical team also donated boxes of medical supplies to the Hurriyah Clinic No. 2 to augment the clinic’s pharmaceutical stock.
