"We're here, not to train, but to collaborate and to develop a rapport with our Senegal partners," U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Burrows, who is leading the 40-person team working the next two weeks alongside Senegalese hospital professionals at the Thies Regional Hospital 🏥 and two smaller hospitals in and around Thies. 🇸🇳 

"We really hope that we can build a relationship with the people on the ground here, they can learn to trust in each other, and then whatever they'll let us do to support them - that's what we're here to do."
 
#MEDREXSenegal 2023 is organized and executed by the Vermont National Guard State Partnership Program & administered by the The National Guard Bureau. The Vermont National Guard and Senegal have been partnered through #SPP since 2008.

#MEDREXAfrica is a program designed and led by the #SETAFAfrica that allows medical personnel from the U.S. military and #partner nations to exchange medical 🩺 procedures and strengthen treatment capabilities. The exercise exposes participants to unique medical delivery methods, and ultimately improves their capacity to assess and deliver medical care.
