Our aim is to “train the trainers”: A Haitian Rehabilitation clinic, run by Haitian staff for the Haitian people.

We are looking closely at the training needs of Haitian registered nurses for example, working in the speciality of rehabilitation.

We are a Rehabilitation clinic and continue to see patients here on a daily basis (Monday to Friday).
We are actively working to educate our staff, patients, any visitor coming to our premises with regard to Cholera.
We are holding impromtu education sessions (by our haitian nurses), handing out leaflets re prevention as well as treatment of cholera symptoms.
We also have a Cholera prevention policy in place.
Regarding medical supplies: many people are asking for water sanitation supplies, soap and hand gel – which unfortunately we do not have enough to give out.

Haiti Earthquake Response - we are rebuilding

An emergency response team (nurses, doctors, rehabilitation specialists and support personnel) led by Board director and founding member of Healing Hands for Haiti International, Lisa Bagley, RN (above), recently returned from a one month tour of duty at our outdoor headquarters clinic in Port au Prince. The team erected the 20 x 50’ army tent for clinic work and treated about 1400 patients in 3-weeks. Their work included wound care management, counselling, physical therapy, referring and transporting several acute patients to the CDTI and Medishare field hospitals, as well as assessment visits to orphanages.

Staff and medical volunteers will continue to expand facilities and services of the outdoor clinic while demolition of damaged structures and site clean-up proceed.

Electricity, water and internet service have been restored to our volunteer guesthouse, the only building left standing after the January 12 earthquake. It has been declared safe and sound by engineers and now accommodates specialized medical teams rotating into service on a weekly basis for many months to come.

Healing Hands for Haiti is collaborating with Project Medishare to provide physical medicine and rehabilitation services and with Handicap International to set up prosthetic fabrication to assist the estimated 4,000 new amputees and other Haitians disabled in the earthquake.

We are proceeding with plans to invest a generous grant from the Newman’s Own Foundation to build semi-permanent, moveable prosthetic fabrication, fitting and clinic facilities on our property, and with our intentions to build Haiti’s first comprehensive Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Institute.

Your generous donations, offers to volunteer and to give materials for the herculean rebuilding task, mirror the response of the global community - absolutely overwhelming. Unfortunately, at the moment, we are not able to collect and distribute prostheses, rehabilitation equipment and other medical materials. Please go to Physicians For Peace for assistance. On behalf of all Haitians and our courageous staff and volunteers, we sincerely thank you for your continued support.

Your generous donations, offers to volunteer and to give materials for the herculean rebuilding task mirror the response of the global community - absolutely overwhelming. Unfortunately, at the moment, we are not able to collect and distribute prostheses, rehabilitation equipment and other medical materials. Please contact Physicians For Peace for assistance. On behalf of all Haitians and our hard working staff and volunteers, we sincerely thank you for your continued support.

It has been more than two weeks since the devastating magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti and our medical, rehabilitation and prosthetic fabrication facilities in Port-au-Prince. We are very relieved to report that all of our 45 local staff have been accounted for, although many lost family members and most lost their homes. Healing Hands for Haiti International has established an emergency relief fund to support them. It has been confirmed that our facilities are 80% destroyed or damaged. Only the guesthouse, which needs structural repairs, remains as a hopeful starting point for a temporary headquarters. Our plans to build Haiti’s first Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Institute have been accelerated.

The Handicap International emergency response team which includes members of Healing Hands for Haiti International and Team Canada Healing Hands, arrived within the first week and has since worked tirelessly with that organization assessing and treating victims at hospitals throughout the city, even transporting spinal chord injured to hospitals in the US. Several of our Haitian Board members who are orthopaedic surgeons operate continuously from their hospitals. Our organization is integrating with a larger consortium to provide acute rehabilitation facilities and services at the major hospital initiative near the airport.

By the end of week two, we had landed a second group of 12 senior Healing Hands for Haiti medical volunteers in Port-au-Prince. They are part of a group of 130 medical and construction personnel and a plane load of equipment, organized and donated by the Salt Lake City Utah Hospital Task Force. A make-shift clinic with power and water was immediately set up on our property and opened to the public the next day. Our team will continue to expand the staffing and services of this clinic while the main group help clean up, ensure site safety and start guesthouse repairs.

========================================================

Please give now to help us provide medical support to the most vulnerable victims of the disastrous earthquake in Haiti.

Haiti Earthquake Response
Healing Hands for Haiti International is responding to a powerful earthquake that struck Haiti on Jan. 12, 2010. The earthquake has collapsed buildings and caused wide-spread damage, injuries, and fatalities throughout Port-au-Prince and the countryside.

We are now working with our partners to make an immediate assessment of the damage. We are attempting to make contact with Healing Hands Haitian staff to ensure their safety, as well as the staff and residents of our partner organizations and orphanages where we spend so much of our time and efforts. At this time we are still unaware of the status of our clinic and guesthouse sites at headquarters in Port-au-Prince.

One of our North American medical teams is now on standby to be deployed to Haiti as soon as it is safe and possible. We are now involved in assessing the immediate requirements to make a coordinated effort to respond to the specific needs of the Haitian population living with a disability. In the coming days, the number of persons with disabilities will grow dramatically, and we are beginning preparations to respond to this humanitarian effort.

Americans are encouraged to support Healing Hands for Haiti by making a donation by clicking on the Donate button above and specifying Haiti Earthquake Response Fund.

Canadians (needing a Canadian tax receipt) are encouraged to support Team Canada Healing Hands, our Canadian partner, by making a financial donation to www.canadahelps.org and designate HHHI (Healing Hands for Haiti International) in the message/instructions box.

We will make every effort to keep this website updated as we learn more about the situation.
