Dubai-based RMSI, which provides medical care and services in hostile territories, said on Monday it had distributed medical supplies, toys and financial aid to the patients and team of the poverty stricken Indira Gandhi Children’s Hospital in Kabul, Afghanistan.
During an operational visit to the war torn Kabul, members of the RMSI team, including company CEO Rob Lamb, distributed toys and lifted the spirits of the scores of children who are currently in-patients at the facility.
In addition to the toys, vital medical equipment and supplies were donated to the hospital and money was given to the children’s families to enable treatments to continue.
RMSI delivers fully integrated medical solutions for hostile environments across the world. Since Afghanistan is one of the territories in which the Dubai-based company operates, the team is no stranger to the challenges the local medical institutes face.
Commenting on the recent trip, Rob Lamb, the instigator of all RMSI CSR activities said: “We come here to give back to the community in which we operate and hopefully lift spirits while doing so. However the situation here is truly dire. The doctors and nurses at the hospital must be applauded for their courage and ability to make the impossible possible on a daily basis. They are the hero’s for these innocent children that are the victims in these war struck hostile areas.”
RMSI has more hospital trips planned in the cities and villages where they operate throughout 2012.
RMSI brings world-class medical care and medical services into hostile territories worldwide where war or conflict has created an unstable environment. Headquartered in Dubai, RMSI has operations in countries across the entire Middle East and North Africa region.
