These efforts include surveillance, security airports, emergency assistance and resettlement of displaced people. These laudable efforts will continue in the interest of the country as it is our strategic goals to widen civil-military relationship.
"Counter insurgency efforts are bound to be enhanced by the location of the hospital because of its proximity to the theatre of operation."
