Service members from Camp Lemonnier’s Expeditionary Medical Facility, or EMF, transferred two anesthesia machines to the Peltier General Hospital. The EMF upgraded their anesthesia capabilities, which left the two machines as excess equipment on Camp. The machines were given to help enhance Djiboutian medical care. The hospital treats more than 2,000 emergency cases a year in their five operating rooms; three of the five rooms have outdated machines. The newly acquired machines, adding to the hospital’s medical outreach, can be used in pediatric cases, allowing for more effective care for children. But that’s not the only positive according to the Hospital’s medical director. Soundbites include Lieutenant Heather Yurka – Anesthesiologist and Elias Said - Peltier General Hospital Medical Director. Produced by Petty Officer Jeremy Brandt. Also available in High Definition.
