While working in Health and Welfare Canada, Maurice was responsible for the purchase of large quantities of medical supplies and equipment for the purpose of assembling numerous emergency medical units. In 1966 and 1967, the Canadian Government approved the distribution of 20 of these units to South Vietnam. Maurice was responsible to locate and deliver these hospitals throughout the country. Shortly after the war between Nigeria and Biafra, Maurice accompanied 10 more emergency hospitals for distribution in both war torn areas.
