We started the rather late due to the host nation staff being held up in traffic. When they finally arrived, we had three presentations, one from each of the Brazilian Air Force, Navy and Army pharmacists. It was then onto a bus to visit a local Army hospital where we were shown the two different levels of wards – a very basic one for a soldier, and then a flash one, complete with ensuite for an officer or SNCO. We also got a tour of pathology, ICU, and the pharmacy.
The afternoon was taken up by relaxing by the pool at Centro de Amaralina which is the local military resort where we could sit and chat or take a walk along the beach. Pity the wind was blowing a gale.
The MEPS dinner was held in a local restaurant, Yemanja, and we were treated to a number of traditional dishes. It was not a big night.
