RAMADI, Iraq – Iraqi Policemen with the Western Ramadi Police Sub-Station provided nearly 3,000 pounds of medical supplies to the Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Ar Ramadi Nov. 16.
The Policemen conducted the relief operation, with assistance from Marines of 1st Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, in response to requests from the local populace concerning a shortage in medical supplies.
The supplies, provided by the World Health Organization, are enough to support 10,000 residents for a period of three months. The supplies contain essential medicines and medical devices for primary healthcare workers with limited training.
The operation was the first step in a partnership between the hospital and Iraqi Security Forces to provide aid and basic services to the neediest citizens of Ramadi.
“This is a big and great help for us,” said Abd Alkhalq Z. Hassein, Director Assistant of the hospital. “We are very proud that the Police of this city look after the needs of the people.”
