§ Mr. HayhoeThe medical personnel who served with the British contingent of the Commonwealth monitoring force in 723W Rhodesia were drawn from all three Services. As well as providing treatment for members of the monitoring force, the British Services medical team co-operated with ZANLA and ZIPRA medical staff in establishing medical services at 14 assembly points for some 22,000 Patriotic Front personnel assembled under the terms of the ceasefire.

Detailed records are not available, but it is estimated that in the more accessible assembly points up to 120 civilians a day received treatment.
