Hoboken, New Jersey
On Saturday, November 3, MSF dispatched a doctor, nurse, and mental health specialist to Hoboken to assess medical and psychosocial care needs in the city. The team has been providing the only medical care in three shelters: Wallace public school, St Matthew’s church, and Saint Peter and Paul. The team has also assessed several nursing homes in the area. Since Saturday, the team has conducted 60 medical consultations and 87 mental health counseling sessions. MSF has arranged for prescriptions to be refilled for 48 patients.
The majority of the patients, as in other locations where MSF is working, are suffering from chronic medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Most of the patients are elderly and many are suffering from pre-existing mental illnesses that have only been exacerbated by the trauma associated with the hurricane.
