Dorquain. There are also dispensaries at Gach Qaraguli (GacL
Saran), Ganawah and Agha Jari.
The dispensary at Haft Kel has detention rooms and a store,
and a similar building is under construction at Gach Qaraguli
(Gach Saran).
Sec,. 2. MEDICAL STORES .—A certain amount of
furniture, some beds and almirahs could be made available in
case of emergency for the improved hospital accommodation
mentioned in (a), (6), (c) and (d) above, but it would be advisable
not to rely on this. Alternative provision should be made.
The R. A. F. in Iraq hold a reserve of medical stores which
would be sufficient for one division for about one month.
They also hold barrack and medical equipment sufficient for a 150
bedded hospital but no personnel are available to staff such a
hospital.
The R. A. F. advise that initial equipment of medical stores
should accompany troops from India.
Sec. 3. EVACUATION OF SICK AND WOUNDED.—
Roads suitable for ambulance cars in dry weather exist in all
parts of the area. From Masjid-i-Suleiman evacuation as far as
Dar-i-Khazineh could be carried out in all weather by means of
the metalled road and/or light railway.
Thence as far as Ahwaz by river or fairweather road also
from Haft Kel, Agha Jari and Pazanun to Ahwaz by fairweather
road only. Interruption of road communication for more than
7 to 10 days at a time is unlikely. From Ahwaz to Abadan or
Basra road communication should not be depended upon during
the rainy season from November to May. Using Bandar Shahpur
as a base port, sick and v ounded would be evacuated from
Ahwaz by means of the Iranian State Railway. Ambulance
cars should lie brought from India.
During the rainy season evacuation could be carried out from
Ahwaz (and D-i-K, if desired) by river. No steamer or river
barges A. I. 0. C. or E. and T. S. N. C. are especially fitted for
ambulance work. Owing to the limited facilities available evacu
ation by I. \Y. T. could only be arranged if the medical cases were
deck passengers, as cabins are not available for any numbers.
During the hot weather this would cause considerable hardship
to cases evacuated in this manner.
