A Ugandan pharmacist, Morris, issues medicines from the pharmacy of Pajimo Clinic. His guidance was crucial in determining dosing for patients and prescribing medicines that are effective but no longer widely used in the United States, such as quinine for malaria. As part of a U.S. Army Africa exercise, Natural Fire 10, U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers from the 7225th Medical Support Unit, Greenville, S.C., and the 629th Forward Surgical Team of Columbus, Ohio, worked side-by-side with Ugandan and Tanzanian providers as well as U.S. Navy dentists to treat over 700 local residents per day, extracting teeth, providing medications for malaria, parasites and skin infections, and even issuing eyeglasses.
