Haiti Relief Efforts Update

January 19, 2010

Dr. Martina Fuchs

Real Medicine's team is headed to Jimaní on the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We have identified two hospitals our doctors and nurses are able to work out of. Jimaní is the border town most overwhelmed by severely injured Haitians seeking medical help. Our contacts on the ground are reporting that severely injured patients are arriving in containers, often 30-40 persons in one container. Many of them requiring amputations. We are accepting more doctors and nurses, especially trauma/ortho surgeons/nurses and anesthesiologists. We will continue to report from the ground. Thank you for your ongoing support making this possible.
