FORWARD OPERATING BASE MAHMUDIYAH, Iraq – The Lutifiyah Medical clinic received two ambulances April 26 through the efforts of coalition forces.
Before this, the clinic had relied on Iraqi Army forces to provide transportation for critically ill or wounded persons.
"We will still provide security for the ambulance movement," said 1st Lt. Mohammed Mousa, a doctor with 1st Battalion, 25th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division. "We know the people need emergency medical care on a regular basis and we are going to make sure the people who can give that care get to the people who need it."
The nahia council in Lutifiyah, 36 kilometers south of Baghdad, brought the need to the attention of Coalition forces, who facilitated delivery of the ambulances.
"This will increase the capacity and ability of the health clinic to reach a more widespread area and be able to bring care to people in need," said Capt. Mike Fisher, commander of Battery B, 3rd Battalion, 320th Field Artillery, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
Yaseem Mustafa, chairman of the Lutifiyah Nahia Council, said the delivery would alleviate hardship in the community.
"No longer will people have to travel to the clinic for emergency care, it can now be brought to them," he said.
