Baade Salaam,
I would like to participate in this mission. Depending on what works out, we can look to have a team of health care professionals in the area. We can also work to provide necessary medical supplies.
I’m interested. Though, I’m still just a student, but I would be very happy to do whatever I can.
I would also be interested as a non-physician, if there is a need for logisticians or other volunteers. I work with BMI’s Medical IT team, so if there are plans on recording and/or triaging patients, that is something that can be focused on.
I’d be interested as a non-physician as well, dealing with any IT/computer work that needs to be done.
Salaams to all
We can send teams in rotation for a week at time if all cannot stay the the full time of 20 days . Similar subspeciality people would rotate.
Would be interested in participating
Labbaik ya Dai Allah.
I want to participate. The 20 day commitment may be difficult. Maybe 9 days (2 weekends and a week)
Salaam,
I can make the 20 day commitment. I have emailed Burhani Medical Idara. I look forward to further updates, if there is a group from North America planning to leave soon. I have never been on such relief missions and looking forward to information as to supplies aside from the basics (medical/non medical) that may be needed.
Thank you.
Salaam,
I have registered for the mission.
I encourage everyone to complete your registration and send the necessary information so we can advise you of any action items.

Salaams,
I am only a student, but have experience working at a doctor’s office and can draw blood etc. I don’t mind doing the “dirty work” so the other professionals can do the more complicated tasks. I am also able to do the 20 days. I would really like to partake in this khidmat opportunity !
