The extensive quake that has affected Tohoku and other regions continues to rattle the nation with frequent aftershocks in the scale of mag 5-7. The devastating tsunami caused by the quake has washed away the cities in the disaster stricken area which has worsened the damage done by the quake. While the number of death toll/affected population is constantly on the rise, the death toll as of noon, Mar. 12th is topping 440 and more than 800 people have been missing. Basic infrastructures such as water and electricity have not yet recovered in many places, hence lifelines need to be recovered without any loss of time. AMDA team comprising one coordinator, one nurse and two doctors (pediatrician/physician, physician/public health specialist) left Okayama in the morning of Mar. 12 and headed to Niigata to secure the logistic point and access to the worst-hit area. The team is mainly aiming to support the vulnerable elderly, however, their further scope of activities will be determined based on the needs assessment and information gathering at the local sites. Upon their arrival in Niigata, the team will be procuring relief goods such as medicine, water and food supplies, and at the same time, will further act as a liason for the incoming relief personnel. Stay tuned for updates -> AMDA Emergency Bulletin #20: Japan Earthquake and Tsunami (2011-04-24) http://www.amdainternational.com/english/ AMDA team completed the transfer of work to local entities in both Iwate and Miyagi and ended all of its direct medical assistance on Apr. 20th. While most of AMDA personnel have withdrawn from the work sites, AMDA will sustain its assistance through the rehabilitation phase. Iwate Prefecture (the town of Ohtsuchicho): Contrary to the arrival of a warmer season, the northeastern Japan still needs to endure occasional blizzards. And while entire Japan has entered a new school year from April, Ohtsuchi High School in the severely devastated Ohtsuchicho was no exception. In the midst of housing approximately 270 evacuees in the school gym, the school held a general assembly to embark on a new semester. Furthermore, the number of evacuees in the region has relatively decreased as a whole. As the focus of AMDA's relief activities shifted towards rehabilitative assistance from emergency medical relief, the team ended its regular medical consultation at the shelter and downsized its medical service solely to acupuncture therapy (mainly held by a locally-hired therapist.) For the next one month, the heavily damaged Ohtsuchi Hospital will offer medical services temporarily at a local community center. Meanwhile, the work is underway to resume their regular operation at their actual hospital building with new facilities that will allow X-ray, dialysis, blood tests, surgical operations and admission of patients. Among AMDA team members was a coordinator originally from Ohtsuchicho. Undoubtedly, things would not have gone so smooth without her presence. Miyagi Pref. (the town of Minamisanriku-cho): Besides a handover of AMDA's activities had taken place, the team organized a range of recreational activities for those persevering the prolonged evacuation life. On Apr. 19th at Shizugawa Elementary School, the team opened "Cafe de AMDA", a temporary cafe to serve hot chocolate and coffee to the evacuees. The event ended with great success which garnered more 70 visitors in one hour. The air was filled with aromatic fume from authentically brewed paper-drip coffee and some even said it was the first cup of hot chocolate they had after the disaster hit. AMDA staff also baked cookies with children using a temporary oven; the children enjoyed shaping cookie dough and had a fun and tasty time together. From now on, AMDA will back up Shizugawa Hospital during the rehabilitation phase. Latest dispatch of AMDA personnel: 27th group: 1 coordinator (Apr. 18th) 28th group: 1 nurse, 2 coordinators (Apr. 20th) Total number of AMDA's relief personnel (as of Apr. 18th): 146 50 doctors, 32 nurses, 4 midwives, 2 assistant nurses, 3 pharmacists, 2 psychotherapists, 50 coordinators (including interpreters), 2 careworkers, 1 acupuncture therapist Stay tuned for further developments. ---------------------------- SOURCE: SEEDS Asia - SitRep dated 3/23/11 http://www.reliefweb.int/rw/rwb.nsf/db900sid/JARR-8F8DUJ/$File/full_report.pdf "AMDA (Association of Medical Doctors of Asia): doctors, nurses, and coordinators, providing medical assistance and distribution of basic supplies in Sendai city and Minamisanriku, Miyagi Pref and Kamaishi city and Oduchi town, Iwate Pref." ----------------------------- FROM THE SITE: Emergency Bulletin #5: Japan Earthquake (2011-03-18) 1) AMDA team in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture: AMDA team has been delivering mobile clinic services and relief goods to the nursing homes and schools (evacuation shelters) in Aoba and Miyagino Wards.
