“We have experienced a lot here because we have learnt how to improvise when there are no facilities. The military trains its health personnel mainly for deployment in times of need. With the experience we are getting here, we will be in a position to respond to healthcare needs in other contexts,” Graphic Online reports.

Administrators of the 37 Hospital also expressed their pleasure at the medical exchange because of how both beneficial it was going to be for its staff members and patients alike.

The Public Relations Officer of the hospital, Major Gariba Pabi said: “[The US team has] a lot of equipment and advanced medical technology, so our people who get the opportunity to partner them are able to update their knowledge and skills.”
