Medical teams from the 791st Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron at Ramstein AB, Germany, assisted with the medical evacuation of a critically ill eight-month-old Iraqi girl last May. Fatemah Kalil Hassan was transferred to the Children's Hospital in Columbus, Ohio, to undergo specialized treatment for an abnormal growth of a blood vessel on the right side of her face and neck. The life-threatening growth was obstructing her airway. The process started when Fatemah's twenty-one-year-old mother, Beyda'a Amir Abduk Jabar, contacted an Army doctor at a US medical clinic in Iraq. An Air Force Reserve Command aircrew from the 89th Airlift Squadron at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, flew the mission on a C-141 StarLifter.
