The Important Work of the Samaritan's Purse Field Hospital in Iraq, and the Need for More Medical Volunteer Personnel

Aimee Herd : Mar 29, 2017  SamaritansPurse.org

Christian medical personnel are urgently needed to staff the hospital for deployments of three weeks or longer. Particular needs include trauma/general surgeons, anesthesiologists, emergency medicine physicians, operating room nurses, intensive care unit nurses, surgical technicians, and operating room sterilization staff...

In January, the international relief organization founded by Franklin Graham—Samaritan's Purse—opened up a field hospital on the Nineveh plains in Iraq, in order to meet the many needs of Iraqis caught up in the battle for Mosul, against ISIS. (Photo via SamaritansPurse.org)

It is reportedly the closest trauma center to the frontline fighting.

Since its opening, the hospital has performed more than 470 surgeries on children and adults.

Now Franklin Graham is noting the urgent need for more volunteer 'trauma' doctors and nurses.

"We need men and women who are willing to come and work and serve," said Graham in a video message on the website.

Below are excerpts of a report on the work of the field hospital near Mosul, and how those interested can learn more about volunteering.

From Samaritan's Purse: Our hospital is prepared to treat patients injured by gunfire, land mines, mortar rounds, car bombings, and improvised explosives as the conflict between coalition/Iraqi Security Forces and ISIS terrorists moves into western Mosul. To date, our medical team has treated more than 1,075 patients, many of whom are women and children. Over 475 major surgeries have been performed since the hospital's opening in early January.

Equipped with an emergency room, two operating rooms, more than 50 beds, and dozens of staff, our facility provides immediate medical care and surgical aid for patients who otherwise may lose their lives before they can reach the nearest established medical center in Erbil, one to two hours away. Our hospital is the closest trauma center to frontline fighting and is operated in partnership with the Iraqi Ministry of Health.
