MM&P;'s Bridgedeck newsletter says:
Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS COMFORT, crewed by MM&P; licensed deck officers, left Norfolk June 15 on a four-month humanitarian mission to Latin America and the Caribbean. COMFORT will visit Belize, Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago. At each stop, U.S. military doctors and nurses from the ship’s medical treatment facility will work with a variety of embarked governmental and non-governmental agencies as well as medical professionals from host nations to treat about 1,000 patients per day, providing medical care including immunizations, general and specialty surgeries, dental care and vision services. An embarked Naval construction force of Seabees will provide engineering support at each location, including medical facility repairs and minor construction projects.
