To maximize the 30,000 pounds of medical supplies that Americares will be moving into PAP by Saturday, we are looking for intel on:

1) Ground transportation/security at airport for moving relief supplies

2) Streets or areas to avoid that are impassable by truck

3) Where are functional clinics and hospitals (most important question)? Please be specific and provide contact info.

Thanks.

If I have a team of 13 made up of family practice drs, nurses and two NOLS trained people planning to fly into Santo Domingo on Monday. Does anyone have a contact with a hospital close to the border that we could be of assistance?

Paul, would you consider working in Carrefour at a hospital we are working in already? Contact David Bopp at dbopp@hisg.org for more information. Kay

Quisqueya Christian School, on Delmas 75, near Petionville, has a med center set up and is networked well in country. The contact would be Els Vervolet at evervolet@quisqueya.org I know that they are asking for Physical and Occupational Therapists, as well as any and all supplies related to rehabilitating the seriously wounded - prosthetics, diagnostic equipment, crutches, slings, etc. They are also transporting people to different med facilities around PAP. The US army also has some offices set up there. Kellee Metty
