Good News from Iraq: 30 Apr 2007

From MNF-I, training Iraqi military to provide combat-related health care.

Baghdad - . . . Steps away from one of the country’s busiest emergency rooms, the structure is being turned into a schoolhouse with laptop computers and high-tech dummies that breathe and bleed.

About 30 Iraqis have been trained in American-style emergency medicine under a program at Ibn Sina Hospital, which is run by the 28th Combat Support Hospital.

The program’s goal is to polish the trauma-related skills of doctors, nurses,
pharmacists and other health workers so the Iraqis can resume control of Ibn
Sina . . .
