MABOS keeps hearts beating

Almagal Sheralieva, doctor of transfusions (far right corner), explains how the centrifuges work to Meerim Kuchukeeva, translator for the 376th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron (right) and Senior Airman Abigail Smith, 376th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron, services representative, deployed from the Kansas Air National Guard (left), Jan. 17, 2012. ?We?re very grateful to you for providing these modern devices to us, they are very useful,? Sheralieva said. The Manas area benefit outreach society has been sponsoring the heart ward at the National Cardiology and Therapy Center since 2003 and has paid for 172 surgeries to date. Aside from the centrifuges, the humanitarian assistance group donated six fridges totaling $5,290 to allow the clinic to store more blood for their patients.
