U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Jamie Rose Buama, 349th Medical Squadron surgical technologist, left, and host nation scrub nurses, prepare equipment for arteriovenous (AV) fistula placement surgery during the Lesser Antilles Medical Assistance Team (LAMAT) 25 mission at Modern Medical & Diagnostic Center, Georgetown, Saint Vincent, March 13, 2025. An AV fistula placement is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, used as a preferred vascular access for dialysis in patients with kidney disease. LAMAT facilitates mutual knowledge exchange and collaboration with local healthcare providers by embedding U.S Air Force medical personnel within host nation hospitals and clinics and maintains military readiness.
