MANY THANKS FROM THE STAFF
ROLE 3 MULTI NATIONAL MEDICAL UNIT

Good day from Kandahar Afghanistan. Today, when I came in the hospital, I was taking a new American Army Nurse, whom just arrived in Kandahar a few days ago, to the linen room where we keep are scrubs top. It was her first day and I was going to introduce her to the nursing staff to start her orientation. I a little surprise and looked a little foolish when I saw that the supply of scrubs: 2 small, 1 med and 1 large top. Luckily she fitted in the medium one. I took her to the nurse’s lounge for the rapport.

I guess you can see where I am going to with my story. Anyway, I then went around to the ICU to see if the patient board was updated and I was then taken aside by the nurse in charge asking me why there were 8 boxes of clothes in the corner of the ICU. She was a little tic-off. The ICU being very small and crowded it was definitely in the way. You see, we often receive donation for patients and have some storage at the back of the hospital in a container. So, I told her I would take care of it after rapport. However, she had a look on the notice on one off the boxes and read that it was from a program call Hero to Hero. Curious, I check the first boxes.

Well, what a surprise. I told the nurse, this is not for patient. It is cloths off the back of firefighters and paramedics donated to us the staff. We started digging a little further and found the nurses uniforms. Wow, it was like Christmas, more nurses gathered around us wanting to have a colourful scrub.

You guys definitely brightened our day that morning. Since, the nurse’s scrubs are washed in bulk; everyone will be wearing many of the different scrubs sent since it really augmented the linen room.
Only one physician took a lab coat, however the Kandahar Regional Military Hospital (KRMH) which is one of are closest partner – our nurses go weekly to do mentorship – are using a lot those so I gave the rest of the lab coats to them. They were very pleased. One of the permanent mentors, an American nurse got a Scooby doo scrub top, she was delighted.

As for the t-shirts you sent us, the Hospital Sergeant-Major, will ensure a controlled distribution of them to all the members of the Role 3 MMU which is actually comprised of Canadian, American, Dutch, British, New-Zealand and Danish medical personnel. I will be sending you pictures of staff wearing the shirts and the scrubs in a future e-mail.

Our warmest thanks again from my crew and me at the Role 3 Multinational Medical Unit also known as the Kandahar Airfield Hospital.
