Hi all, I actually completed this game once before, many years ago (several). I am now playing it again though for the second time after a loooong break. I am really struggling though. I have a great team, with some great mercs. I have a tough guy, two medics, and a 99 marksman, and all of them are good at shooting. So I am doing ok. I captured the town at the top right which has a mine that is earning me money now. But I healed up all my squad using the doctor/patient option, and it used up my med kit. Then I decided to work towards the hospital and I have used another kit getting there. I have now captured the hospital but there are 3 or 4 other locations I think I need to capture before the guys in the hospital will heal me, and I have no med kits left.
My squad are all on full health except for one person who has an injury and is constantly losing blood. They are going to probably die before too long, and I am just not finding any med kits so I don't know what I'm supposed to do. If I can't get one ASAP my guy will die before I capture the hospital's town. I also hired my second merc healer just so I could get their kit, but I used that one too.
Where am I going wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

ARULCO IS FREE!!! 
Took me quite a long time. I had been playing about a week before I made this thread, and then it's taken me until just now to finish it. And that's playing for many hours every day 
In the end though I totally kicked butt. I had 1.6 million dollars in the end lol. I did the whole game with 1 squad and only ever paid people for the full 2 weeks to keep costs down. I sorted the AIM members by marksmanship and had a full team of the best marksmen, and just one healer, Spider. Gave all of them sniper rifles apart from Spider who I gave a machine gun. She did enormous damage with that thing, but most of the time, nobody got close to us without taking 5 bullets to their head.
Healing was easy as pie. I found lots of kits once you start taking out the towns and nearby areas. It was only at the start I was worried a bit, but I just ordered a few and had them delivered to the airport at the north east. In the end, her inventory was full of healing first aid and medical kits Mainly because I just did healing at the hospital. I saved the little boy and some other stuff, so that guy ends up doing healing to your squad for as cheap as possible. In the end it works out sooooo cheap. He was healing all my squad from near death to full for like $1000 or so, and I had 1.6 million so it was nothing. I also found an area which had about 10 LAW's in it so even the last stages of the game were easy and cheap thanks to all that.
About half way though I hired a second squad of just 2 or 3 guys. I had rescued a guy and I found that mad mechanic guy, and I hired a few others and that was my repair crew. I kept them safe in the hospital zone and I met them up with my main squad whenever I needed to repair all their gear.
It was awesome. I kinda felt the final fight should have been harder. She didn't even get a shot off nor did the 2 bodyguards. I also was starting to tire of the constant fighting near the end, after I had freed all the cities and stuff. It became a bit of a grind. Great game though, I wish there will be a modern sequel someday.
