notes: HEAS Update posted by Dr. Keenan 11/22/10 I just arrived in today. I got some updates by folks on the ground. It seems the Cap Gynmansium is under better control with MSF and they are starting a new centre at Quartier Morin, HHA. Teams were supposed to arrive today, unsure how many did. I visited Ebenezer Clinic in Haut Limbe today, they were overcrowded, 2 docs and 5 nurses, but doing better than last week. They seem to be managing. MSF has been giving them support as well and plan to establish a larger CTC there along with one at Bon Samaritan, Sean Hodges in Limbe. Everyone is trying their best but it's seems that staffing is a key problem. Luckily the roads are open to Cap and supplies are flowing. At my clinic, we must have had about 40 cases today. MSF was planning to send a tent and staff to help us as well but unsure of a date yet. As we have 3 medical personnel on the ground we have decided to keep patients overnight, as we see the massive overcrowding in Limbe. I guess we'll see how tonight goes. So, it seems that for the north that having contact with MSF is a key measure of success. They too are very busy but at least they seem to have a good strategy. In terms of volunteers, we need nurses/EMTs and docs throughout the region The soon we get this volunteer co-ordination happening the better, but truly volunteers need to stay for minimum of 10-14 days. Unless they've been to Haiti before any shorter time is not worthwhile as it takes time for orientation. I will try to stay posted on this working group but clinic may be overwhelming these next few weeks. -------------------------------------------------- Email from Dr. Keenan 11/11/10 I wanted to forward a little update regarding cholera in Haiti. It has very quickly become an epidemic. Our staff in country are doing the best they can do.

The situation is dire. Our volunteer doctors are heading home on Monday and we will have our Haitian Doctor and Iranese alone next week, though I am looking for local reinforcements.

mission: Serves 1200 to 1500 patients Haiti Village Health was founded by a Canadian Emergency Physician, Dr. Tiffany Keenan, and a dedicated group of medical professionals who all share a love of Haiti and a belief that access to health care and medicine is the right of everyone. Haiti Village Health is dedicated to the provision of front line medical care, health education and nutritional support in places where no such services have ever existed. It is dedicated to working with the villages in which is serves to ensure access to clean water and sanitation through liaison with other like minded organizations. It, like the people with whom it works, is dedicated to self-sufficiency and sustainability. Its goal is to assist the people of rural Haiti with the future they are building with their own strong hands. Dr. Keenan, who has worked in Canada, Bermuda, Congo and Haiti was first introduced to the village of Bod Me Limbe during a visit to the North of Haiti while working in the Capital, Port au Prince in early 2006. After returning later that year and completing a needs assessment and attending a series of meetings with the village leaders the first 2 week clinic was scheduled for February of 2007. During that first clinic alone Haiti Village Health’s Team of 14 Physicians, Nurses and Paramedics treated over 1,200 people from the region, provided de-worming medications to every child, offered a pre and neo natal care clinic and provided maternal vitamins to all female patient of child bearing age. A permanent Clinic named Sante Pou Yo or Health for All in local Creole, is now open and staffed 5 days a week by a Haitian trained nurse and 2 days a week with a Haitian trained Physician funded through Haiti Village Health. Teams travel to Bod Me Limbe 3-4 times per year to provide specialist services and conduct public health education, village outreach programs, family planning and childhood nutritional support. A series of composting toilets have been constructed improving sanitation, drainage has been improved and mosquito nets have been distributed reducing the incidence of malaria and we continue to work with other organizations to improve the village water supplies. In addition to our medical staff we have several local personnel who maintain the clinic and toilets as well as collect trash for burning and keep drainage channels open to keep mosquito breeding grounds in check. A locally constituted Sante Pou Yo committee comprised of men, women and youth keep us informed of how efforts are recieved and continue public health education. All of our in-country operations are under the management of our local Medical Program Coordinator in keping with our philosophy of local personnel and management are the only key to sustainability. Haiti Village Health works hand in hand with the Haitian government, the local villagers and other like minded NGOs to ensure that the people of northern Haiti can use their strong hands to build and even stronger nation. -> Serves 1200 to 1500 patients Haiti Village Health was founded by a Canadian Emergency Physician, Dr. Tiffany Keenan, and a dedicated group of medical professionals who all share a love of Haiti and a belief that access to health care and medicine is the right of everyone.

cat_notes: Thanks. Laura - moved the blog url to notes. If you input more than one web address neither will show up. Les -> This is Dr. Keenan's org. I am totally confused about where they are. Travex has them in PAP. I can not find the village where the website says they are. Maybe Limbe? Which is near Cap Haitien. They might actually have 2 locations. I just hate to bother her with this detail. Thanks. Laura - moved the blog url to notes. If you input more than one web address neither will show up. Les

Haiti Village Health works hand in hand with the Haitian government, the local villagers and other like minded NGOs to ensure that the people of northern Haiti can use their strong hands to build and even stronger nation. -> Serves 1200 to 1500 patients Haiti Village Health was founded by a Canadian Emergency Physician, Dr. Tiffany Keenan, and a dedicated group of medical professionals who all share a love of Haiti and a belief that access to health care and medicine is the right of everyone. Haiti Village Health is dedicated to the provision of front line medical care, health education and nutritional support in places where no such services have ever existed. It is dedicated to working with the villages in which is serves to ensure access to clean water and sanitation through liaison with other like minded organizations. It, like the people with whom it works, is dedicated to self-sufficiency and sustainability. Its goal is to assist the people of rural Haiti with the future they are building with their own strong hands. Dr. Keenan, who has worked in Canada, Bermuda, Congo and Haiti was first introduced to the village of Bod Me Limbe during a visit to the North of Haiti while working in the Capital, Port au Prince in early 2006. After returning later that year and completing a needs assessment and attending a series of meetings with the village leaders the first 2 week clinic was scheduled for February of 2007. During that first clinic alone Haiti Village Health’s Team of 14 Physicians, Nurses and Paramedics treated over 1,200 people from the region, provided de-worming medications to every child, offered a pre and neo natal care clinic and provided maternal vitamins to all female patient of child bearing age. A permanent Clinic named Sante Pou Yo or Health for All in local Creole, is now open and staffed 5 days a week by a Haitian trained nurse and 2 days a week with a Haitian trained Physician funded through Haiti Village Health. Teams travel to Bod Me Limbe 3-4 times per year to provide specialist services and conduct public health education, village outreach programs, family planning and childhood nutritional support. A series of composting toilets have been constructed improving sanitation, drainage has been improved and mosquito nets have been distributed reducing the incidence of malaria and we continue to work with other organizations to improve the village water supplies. In addition to our medical staff we have several local personnel who maintain the clinic and toilets as well as collect trash for burning and keep drainage channels open to keep mosquito breeding grounds in check.
