Description
View of the new First Aid Health Facility at Camp RAMSI, taken during a casualty simulation exercise, held on opening day. The "patient" is being taken into the operating theatre on a trolley. The operating theatre and intensive care complex (right) was housed in Brunswick shelters. An ‘insulated tropical shed accommodation’ prefabricated building (left) housed the low dependency ward. Camp RAMSI, located at the former Guadalcanal Beach Resort near Honiara, was the main operational base for the police and military forces of the Regional Assistance Mission to the Solomon Islands (RAMSI). The new field hospital was constructed by members of 3rd Combat Engineer Regiment (3CER). It replaced HMAS Manoora as the primary online medical treatment facility for Operation Anode, Australia’s military contribution to RAMSI. It also provided medical treatment to locals and to RAMSI personnel. Medical services were provided by members of 2nd Health Support Battalion.
