Update from the Field
Monday, February 22, 2010

It has been a very busy week for the ground operations in Haiti. A team of 11 doctors and nurses along with SHINE/CDRS staff arrived in Haiti on Feb 12th after missing multiple connections and having a car break down on them. The doctors and nurses serve the patients that visit the Bojeaux Parc medical facility. Team members are also deployed with the US 82nd Airborne to provide mobile health services at various camps. The medical volunteers are also continuing with food distribution activities.

There were a couple of quite days in between over the 3 day period of National Remembrance marking the one month anniversary of the quake from Jan 11-13th. On Jan 14th, over 1,100 patients were attended to. This is an indication that the facility and the medical outreach services continue to fill a gaping hole in the health sector in the Northeastern areas of Port-au-Prince.
