GHAZNI PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Ghazni Provincial Reconstruction Team members helped the Afghan National Police deliver medical supplies to the Moqur District Center and spoke to clinic doctors about their needs during a site visit Sept. 10.
Three pallets of medical supplies ranging from bandages to surgical equipment, a gift from the Afghan government and the PRT, were delivered to the clinic to provide aid to the local villagers.
“This was our first time visiting this clinic and speaking to their doctor,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Dennis Magnasco, a medic assigned to the Ghazni Provincial Reconstruction Team, Task Force White Eagle and Boston native. “We were able to find out how well the clinic is operating, how it met the needs of the people, and what medical issues were affecting the people.”
The clinic’s doctor Khial Mohammed Naiz was able to answer questions for the PRT and thank them for their assistance.
“Thank you, we are a poor country and these medical supplies will help our people”, said Dr. Khial Mohammed Naiz.
The PRT also gained vast knowledge about an area previously not visited.
“This engagement was very important and went well,” said Magnasco. “They were happy to receive the medical supplies and we were able to gain a lot of information to provide support to their people.”
