Airmen Help Bring Iraqi Infant To America
Medical teams from the 791st Expeditionary Aeromedical
Evacuation Squadron assisted with the medical evacuation of a
critically ill 8-month-old Iraqi girl May 18 and 19. Fatemah Kalil
Hassan was transferred to the Children’s Hospital in
Columbus, Ohio, to undergo specialized treatment for an abnormal
growth of a blood vessel on the right side of her face and neck.
The life-threatening growth was obstructing her airway, officials
said.
