notes: Project Medishare responds to cholera outbreak in central Haiti October 22, 2010 by projectmedishare By Jennifer Browning Representing the deadliest health crisis since January’s earthquake, a cholera epidemic is reportedly spreading in central Haiti. The Haitian Ministry of Health today has confirmed cases of cholera in the area surrounding the lower Artibonite region of Haiti. Health Minister Alex Larsen reported that a river running down from the central plateau through the Artibonite region has tested positive for cholera. Project Medishare’s Country Director Marie Chery reported that the pattern of the epidemic is along the Artibonite River, south of the UN camp located on the road to Thomonde, just past Mirebalais. No cases are yet to be identified in the UN camp. Hospitals and clinics of the lower Artibonite region are overwhelmed and more than 2000 cases have been reported with 160 confirmed deaths. A few cases have also been reported in Mirebalais. In our communities in the Central Plateau, Project Medishare is responding with an organized plan of mass education using our network of community health workers, community leaders, school teachers and others. “We are using the local radio station also to educate on the necessity of treating or boiling drinking water, preparing oral rehydration solutions, and hand washing,” Chery said. “We are distributing liquid bleach, hand soap, and oral rehydration packets. We are also working with the Ministry of Health and other partners to assist in the affected areas in the Artibonite region and the Central Plateau.” Medical staff at Hospital Bernard Mevs Project Medishare (HPBMPM) has mobilized all resources required to fight the cholera epidemic in Haiti. The in-country supply warehouse is currently having specialized cots set aside along with oral rehydration agents, IV fluids, antibiotics and sterilization agents to be used upon request by our programs in the Central Plateau as well as for HBMPM in Port-au-Prince. “Communication with the Ministry of Health as well as with other NGO’s such as JP/HRO and PIH has been initiated in order to present a coordinated attack on all fronts to contain this potentially devastating epidemic,” Dr. Enrique Ginzburg, Project Medishare’s International Director said. Project Medishare is also assisting Yéle Haiti, who is currently deploying 14 water trucks in order to provide safe drinking water to the affected areas in the Central Department. Marie Chery continues to stay in close contact with the Ministry of Health and will be providing regular updates. ---------------------------------------- TO DONATE SUPPLIES STATESIDE: Items can be shipped to our warehouse at this address: Project Medishare for Haiti 3200 N.W. 119 Street Miami, Fl, 33167 *If you would like to request a receipt for your in-kind donation send your name, address, email, phone, and a list of donated items to Project Medishare’s accountant, Kettely Joseph at kettely @ projectmedishare.org.

Rural Haiti has already experienced a mass exodus–over 400,000 people have fled to rural areas to seek shelter with family and other relatives. Later this month, Haitian leaders intend to outline a rebuilding plan during a critical aid conference in New York. The leaders are working toward a plan that will incorporate rural areas into the development of the country. In addition to providing care for earthquake victims at the Project Medishare and the UM Global Institute Hospital in the capital, Project Medishare continues to provide ongoing support to our existing rural programs like the Community Health Program and our Integrated Community Development Program, which includes helping local farmers with better agriculture practices in the Central Plateau. As resources in Port-au-Prince continue to dwindle, soon there will be another exodus to the countryside. Schools and health clinics will need to be built and funded to accommodate these urban guests who will more likely become permanent residents.

Össur will coordinate all product donations through Project Medishare (http://www.projectmedishare.org/ ) and the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association (http://www.aopanet.org/). Project Medishare is one of a small number of organizations that has direct access to Port-au-Prince airport and medical personnel treating the injured. Össur will be donating products that medical personnel now working in Haiti have specifically identified as critical to aid the injured. Those products include orthopaedic braces and supports as well as prosthetics for the many survivors who have suffered amputations. “The tragic events in Haiti have left no one untouched. We have a responsibility as an orthopaedic organization to donate products to support the urgent need on the ground in Haiti,” said Jon Sigurdsson, Össur’s President and CEO.
