US ship to provide health care

Posted By Stabroek editor On October 14, 2010 @ 9:01 am (5 hours ago) In Breaking News |

The USS Iwo Jima is bringing health care to Latin America and the Caribbean and will dock here between October 18-26, the US Embassy here says.

It will provide medical care and construction support. The medical teams will be at Rosehall from Oct. 18-26, Moraikobe on Oct 20, Orealla/Siparuta Oct 18-19, Kwakwani Oct 21 and Edinburgh Oct 22-26

The construction projects include repairs to a health care incinerator in Berbice, construction on the Central Corentyne Secondary School and improvements to an agricultural packaging and storage facility at Mibicuri, Black Bush Polder.

The US embassy says “For this deployment, USS Iwo Jima was configured with special medical equipment and manned with a robust multi-specialized medical team of uniformed and civilian health care providers to provide a range of services.

The medical/dental/veterinary crew includes medical professionals from the U.S. military and U.S. Public Health Service, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and other international partners.”

It added ”A team of Navy Seabees from the Norfolk, Va.-based Construction Battalion Maintenance Unit (CBMU) 202, along with detachments from Jacksonville and Key West, Fla., and Kings Bay, Ga. will support community construction and repair projects. They will provide local communities with building repairs and improvements, new small construction projects, utility system repairs and other projects depending on the host nation’s needs.”

USS Iwo Jima is an amphibious assault ship ^[1]. These large amphibious ships resemble a small aircraft carrier and are typically the cornerstone of any amphibious group. For this deployment, USS Iwo Jima is outfitted with 10 helicopters (eight CH-46 E Sea Knights & two MH-60S Knighthawks) and 2 Landing Craft Utility (LCUs) which will play a key role in transporting personnel, patients and equipment to and from shore.

Nota del editor del blog: Al referenciarse a la República Cooperativa de Guyana se deben de tener en cuenta los 159.500Km2, de territorios ubicados al oeste del río Esequibo conocidos con el nombre de Guayana Esequiba o Zona en Reclamación sujetos al Acuerdo de Ginebra del 17 de febrero de 1966.

Territorios estos sobre los cuales el gobierno Venezolano en representación de la Nación venezolana se reservo sus derechos sobre los territorios de la Guayana Esequiba en su nota del 26 de mayo de 1966 al reconocerse al nuevo Estado de Guyana.

“...por lo tanto, Venezuela reconoce como territorio del nuevo Estado, el que se sitúa al este de la margen derecha del río Esequibo y reitera ante la comunidad internacional, que se reserva expresamente sus derechos de soberanía territorial sobre la zona que se encuentra en la margen izquierda del precitado río; en consecuencia, el territorio de la Guayana Esequiba sobre el cual Venezuela se reserva expresamente sus derechos soberanos, limita al Este con el nuevo Estado de Guyana, a través de la línea del río Esequibo, tomando éste desde su nacimiento hasta su desembocadura en el Océano Atlántico...”
