U.S. Army and Air Force medical professionals with the Vermont National Guard receive an orientation of the Mbour Hospital Feb. 20, 2023 during the start of a medical readiness exercise called MEDREX Senegal 2023. The 40-person U.S. team will work for the next two weeks alongside Senegalese hospital professionals at the Thies Regional Hospital and two smaller hospitals in and around Thies, Senegal.
MEDREX is a program designed and overseen by the U.S. Southern European Task Force, Africa that allows medical personnel from the U.S. military and partner nations to exchange medical procedures and strengthen treatment capabilities. The exercise exposes participants to unique medical delivery methods, and ultimately improves their capacity to assess and deliver medical care. MEDREX Senegal 2023 is organized and executed by the Vermont National Guard State Partnership Program (SPP) and administered by the National Guard Bureau. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through SPP since 2008. (U.S. Army photo by SFC Jason Alvarez)
