Danish team to staff British field hospital in 2009

Copenhagen - A 100-strong medical team from the Danish defence forces is to serve next year at a British army field hospital in southern Afghanistan, a Danish military spokesman said Wednesday. The team including doctors, nurses and other health workers were to serve for a three-month period starting in July 2009, Major Bjarne Poulsen of the Danish International Logistic Centre told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa. The Logistics Centre based in Vordinborg, southern Zealand is in charge of recruiting and training staff and sending equipment to Danish international missions. The Danish team were to relieve some British units and were to use British equipment at the field hospital at Camp Bastion. As part of their preparations they will visit Leeds, northern England where a training hospital is located, Poulsen added. The planned medical mission was described as the largest of its kind to date by a Danish medical team. Denmark is one of the countries that has contributed forces to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan.
