Malaysian Medical Team

Last night I attended dinner on the invitation of our Malaysian Medical Team who are going back to Malaysia in a few days time. The dinner is attended by the whole team plus officers from the High Commission. It was to mark the end of their stay in Pakistan to offer medical assistance to the earthquake victims. Our team, equipped with field hospital was stationed at Battagram, one of the village devastated by the earthquake. From my brief conversation with the leading doctor, our team was held with high esteem amongst the local and did a wonderful job. The team made up of 140 personnel with 15 doctors, including 6 specialist, like O&G, pediatrician and surgeon. From what I learnt, since the setting up of the hospital on 31 Oct 05, the team treated a total of 21,000 patients - an average of about 250 patients a day. They have done an excellent job. The pride of MAF and Malaysia. I am sure Malaysians will be hearing more of the team once they return.

This morning I finally finished my share of work for our Group Research Paper. Phew!!. Wrapped up my presentation text and e-mailed to the group leader for him to scrutinize. Upon returning from Kashmir and Peshawar, we will be making our slides, doing rehearsal and preparations for our final presentation on 18 Feb. Now I am also eagerly waiting for the feedback from the faculty on my early effort on Individual Research Paper. Once, that is cleared, I can say that major part of my work in this Institution has been done. No celebration yet, as we will be having two major exercises on Security and Policy Formulations next month. My hope is that I will be spared from the rigor of being nominated as leaders. Berdoa saje lah...
