Abstract
|
|
|
|
After the Iraq war, the Korean government established an Iraq Peace and Reconstruction Division, ’Zaytun’. Zaytun division has been dispatched in northern Iraq, since August 3, 2004. As one of our missions, ’Zaytun Hospital’ was built to support the demand for the insufficient medical facilities and supplies in Iraq, which was opened on November 27, 2004. Zaytun Hospital, equipped with modern operation room and general ward, has been composed of 12 clinical departments. Although we had many problems, such as difficulty of communication with Iraqis, connection with medical facilities of Iraq and risk of terrorism, we overcame these difficulties and were able to achieve our missions successfully. I wish that our special experience in Iraq are will be the guideline to other oral and maxillofacial surgeons, who want to help those individual in unfortunate areas such as Iraq.
