Need for Medical Reference Materials in Afghanistan

[Athy]

A good friend and co-worker of mine, Bill Proffer, is deeply involved in an effort to ship medical textbooks and reference materials to physicians in Afghanistan to help improve the quality of medical care that can be provided by our docs. Here is a link to an article about the effort he's involved in.
