Just wanted to give an update to our blog followers.
The clinic officially opened on July 10th. We have a full time nurse, Miss Iranese and part time physician, Dr. Mona Alexis working for us.
The Medika Mamba or peanut butter program is continuing as is our family planning program.
Miss Iranese will continue the vitamin distribution program in the village as well.
I will be travelling to Haiti in Mid-September to ensure that things are running smoothly before the team arrives in Mid-November. Jo's guest house will be completed shortly giving everyone lovely accommodations for the next trip.
Our goal is to provide sustainable front line medical care and health education in rural Haiti. Our recent work has focussed on Jacmel Airport where Dr. Tiffany Keenan spent 5 weeks on the ground post earthquake coordinating the Health NGOs in the region. Our new projects include a new medical clinic in Jacmel, a National Air Ambulance service with Partner organizations and the Haiti Health Facilities Database with Google and the Haitian Dept of Health.
