iraqi nursing program

Great article from Fox News about a nurse training program in Anbar province, Iraq. The women, mostly in their mid-thirties, are being trained as nurses' aids. They are paid $200 a month by the U.S. State Department's Reconstruction team. For many of them, it is their first career.

Historically, nurses in Iraq have been met with suspicion, due to their willingness to work long hours in a coed setting. The founder of the program, Dr. Ayad al-Hadith, is a physician who specializes in child and maternal health and has devoted his professional life to loweing maternal health in Anbar province. He hopes some of the women trained will go on to become RNs.
