BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan – Special Operations Task Force – East medical personnel participated in a multi-national free clinic for local Afghans at the Korean Hospital on Bagram Air Field, Jan. 29.
More than 200 local men, women and children were treated by doctors from Afghanistan, Korea, United Arab Emirates and the U.S. Army’s 404th Civil Affairs Battalion and SOTF – East.
“The Korean hospital is normally closed today,” said Lt. Col. Dan Godbee, SOTF – East battalion surgeon. “The medical personnel came in on their day off and donated time; some of the doctors drove in from Kabul.”
The event represents a turning point for groups of Coalition doctors providing treatment together, said Godbee.
The combined-group included a cardiologist, urologist, gynecologist, general practitioners and physical therapists that treated babies from a few months old to grandparents in their sixties.
