Health Care Improvements Slated for Iraqis
Iraq Fact of the Day

The British military is training 24 Iraqi nurses in general nursing and critical care. There are also specialized courses in surgery and orthopedics. Instruction will be led by local Iraqi doctors, an Iraqi chief nurse and senior nurse, and a liaison officer from the British Military. This effort to improve patient care is another example of improvements in the daily lives of the Iraqi people.
