Despite a lack of supplies, members of Medical Civil Action Program, a team of Air Force primary care physicians from Brooks City-Base, Tex., treated Cambodians with common ailments at a clinic in Mondol Kiri earlier this year, according to a Feb. 21 news release. They cared for more than 2,100 patients, using translators to help with the language barrier.
The $4.26 billion Small Business Innovation Research contracting program widely used by the Air Force went into hibernation as the government shut down Oct. 1, but unless lawmakers strike a deal on reforms, the program could reach an abrupt end.
