Bornge denied MSF bringing staff, but MSF said they have. --------------------------------------------- 12/14/10 CHHN Update 30-40 pts. per day admits Total deaths 35 MSPP supplied 11/20/10 MSF supplied 11/15/10 MMRC supplies and personnel 11/26/10 left 12/3/10 In urgent need of tents and beds, IVs, ORS. Has about 2-3 days left of RL STAFF: 3 docs, 6 nurses needs more staff CHHN sent 10 volunteers but only stayed 2 days Can accomodate 7 volunteers Can pick up supplies at Cap Haitien PUT ON HEAS WATCHBOARD ----------------------------------------- 12/7/10 Email with Rose Marie MSF came by yesterday to discuss what they can do to establish at least one ORC further and the went out to one of these sites with Dr. Voltaire. they promised to "do something" but we don't know what specifically. Per my talk with Dr. Voltaire last night, we need disposable gowns for the staff, Aleze pads for patients beds, cots and more cots, and a tent!! we need to separate recovering patients who spend a day of recuperation before heading back to their homes. we had noticed some returning patients and identified that the weak ones or the ones who live far, don't have the strength and energy for the long trek home, on foot and in the sun. so the tent would be used for them. we still have IV fluids and the ringers and ORS but would not mind having more on stock. we are still at 145/150 in patients so that stuff goes fast! ---------------------------------------- 12/6/10: Report from CHHN 53 admission today, 150 total in patients currently. A few deaths lately, but reports of many dying at home. MMRC team left Dec. 3rd. Have supplies for 3-4 days 4 docs, 6 nurses ---------------------------------------------- 12/2/10: Lpar http://www.youtube.com/mmrcglobal#p/a/u/0/fxHKxlOY__8 From Rose Marie "...we had 5 return patients who had been discharged within the past 4 days (need to clarify the time of discharge to make sure) and this is a red flag for him (Dr. Voltaire). He attributes the relapse to a too quick discharge of certain patients who are sent home where they do not have the resources to keep recovering (food, water...), have too long a distance to walk back home and not strong enough for the haul, or were already weak and had other complications/infections and needed more time to get back on their feet. I found this interesting and asked him to keep tab of these patients' cases. He thinks that classic treatment modalities might not always apply to situations like those found in rural Haiti." ------------------------------------------------------- 11/26/10 LTel: MMRC is on their way with some supplies and two team members on a U.N. Chopper today. The volunteer needs are STILL VERY CRITICAL FOR THIS SITE AND URGENT. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A TOP PRIORITY SITE TO VOLUNTEER AT THIS IS THE PLACE. --------------------------------------- 11/25/10 Re Mark Batcheck with Open Hands Intern'l We will be bringing in three or 4 EMTs to PaP on Monday or Tuesday AM and if we can find a way up there, may be able to help 11/25/10 Dr. Jim Wilson quoting Michael Sheilds of Project Hope The HEAS previously shared emergency requests for assistance from the community of Borgne and have been working furiously to mobilize personnel and materiel to the community. However, it is still a struggle. This is the most recent report from the community: "I thank you for the yesterday’s huge efforts, the container (which was finally released from port – not cholera specific but helpful in materials), other materials and aqueous solutions on that flight from PAP. It is too much to ask and I know that you are tired. I must continue to push since you’ve never failed us in the past. The recently expanded hangar is already filled, and the patients can do nothing but cry out in fear and pain. We are going through [Lactate] Ringers like water. Our completely inadequate level of staffing is killing us from fatigue. Our current situation remains beyond our abilities to control it; and without continued aid per our list of needs, in the next 48 hours this health center could be more like a cemetery. We need more personnel, more and larger tents, and volunteers, meds, and sanitary supplies. It is truly an alarming situation and without you Borgne is doomed. We thank you… " ----------------------------------------------- 11/23/10 LPar Note: Facility still in dire need for supplies and staff. HEAS group making attempts to respond to urgent needs. Shipment set to go got canceled. Group is still trying to respond. Rosemarie Chierici reported that they have lost staff to higher paying MSF. I will alert CHHN and Konbit Sante of this "unexpected consequence" of MSF recruiting. -------------------------------------- No English spoken in this region – French, Spanish and Kreyol. Michael Shields 11/21/10 --------------------------------------- Per Director, Michael Shields 11/20/10: Coordinates for the helicopter landing spot (not a pad but used in the past by UN): 19.847598,-72.524679 (from Google Maps). It is just at the mouth of the Borgne River, adjacent to the main village. The dirt airstrip is not safe to use for small planes. ---------------------------------------- UPDATE FROM Rosemarie Chierici/Michael Shields by phone 11/20/10: Multiple Cholera Supplies needed. Per their director Michael Shields, they will contact MSPP for supplies and coordinate with the Cap Haitien Network. After supplies are secured within the region, we'll discuss potential solutions for any outstanding needs. -Fatality rate at the clinic is 10-13% -60 patients currently -Low on Nursing Staff -4 Doctors on site (1 on leave) -Highest supply priority is IV Fluids/ORS/IV Supplies -Catchment of area is 80,000 people -Once the hospital supplies are secured and containment/treatment is improved, they will implement their mobile units to bring supplies/education to remote areas -Currently, the patients are being housed in a makeshift hanger that existed for quake survivors and many are under tarps -Large Military Tent needed -Showers needed for disinfection -Latrine installation is needed -Water purification tablets are needed This plea for assistance sourced from the HEAS group is now closed to the public group and being handled off the list and internally. Thank You - Leslie Teltoe - Citizen Action Team Relief Database ----------------------------------------- Conversation with Rose-Marie 11/15/10 She gave a list of needs which are posted. Urgently need large tent. They are set up for 20 and have 40 cholera patients. Also need personnel to go out into rural areas where sick people would not have transportation to the town.

He attributes the relapse to a too quick discharge of certain patients who are sent home where they do not have the resources to keep recovering (food, water...), have too long a distance to walk back home and not strong enough for the haul, or were already weak and had other complications/infections and needed more time to get back on their feet. I found this interesting and asked him to keep tab of these patients' cases. He thinks that classic treatment modalities might not always apply to situations like those found in rural Haiti." ------------------------------------------------------- 11/26/10 LTel: MMRC is on their way with some supplies and two team members on a U.N. Chopper today. The volunteer needs are STILL VERY CRITICAL FOR THIS SITE AND URGENT.

However, it is still a struggle. This is the most recent report from the community: "I thank you for the yesterday’s huge efforts, the container (which was finally released from port – not cholera specific but helpful in materials), other materials and aqueous solutions on that flight from PAP. It is too much to ask and I know that you are tired. I must continue to push since you’ve never failed us in the past. The recently expanded hangar is already filled, and the patients can do nothing but cry out in fear and pain. We are going through [Lactate] Ringers like water. Our completely inadequate level of staffing is killing us from fatigue. Our current situation remains beyond our abilities to control it; and without continued aid per our list of needs, in the next 48 hours this health center could be more like a cemetery. We need more personnel, more and larger tents, and volunteers, meds, and sanitary supplies. It is truly an alarming situation and without you Borgne is doomed. We thank you… " ----------------------------------------------- 11/23/10 LPar Note: Facility still in dire need for supplies and staff. HEAS group making attempts to respond to urgent needs.

Per my talk with Dr. Voltaire last night, we need disposable gowns for the staff, Aleze pads for patients beds, cots and more cots, and a tent!! we need to separate recovering patients who spend a day of recuperation before heading back to their homes. we had noticed some returning patients and identified that the weak ones or the ones who live far, don't have the strength and energy for the long trek home, on foot and in the sun. so the tent would be used for them. we still have IV fluids and the ringers and ORS but would not mind having more on stock. we are still at 145/150 in patients so that stuff goes fast! ---------------------------------------- 12/6/10: Report from CHHN 53 admission today, 150 total in patients currently.

It is too much to ask and I know that you are tired. I must continue to push since you’ve never failed us in the past. The recently expanded hangar is already filled, and the patients can do nothing but cry out in fear and pain. We are going through [Lactate] Ringers like water. Our completely inadequate level of staffing is killing us from fatigue. Our current situation remains beyond our abilities to control it; and without continued aid per our list of needs, in the next 48 hours this health center could be more like a cemetery. We need more personnel, more and larger tents, and volunteers, meds, and sanitary supplies. It is truly an alarming situation and without you Borgne is doomed.

However, it is still a struggle. This is the most recent report from the community: "I thank you for the yesterday’s huge efforts, the container (which was finally released from port – not cholera specific but helpful in materials), other materials and aqueous solutions on that flight from PAP. It is too much to ask and I know that you are tired. I must continue to push since you’ve never failed us in the past. The recently expanded hangar is already filled, and the patients can do nothing but cry out in fear and pain. We are going through [Lactate] Ringers like water. Our completely inadequate level of staffing is killing us from fatigue. Our current situation remains beyond our abilities to control it; and without continued aid per our list of needs, in the next 48 hours this health center could be more like a cemetery. We need more personnel, more and larger tents, and volunteers, meds, and sanitary supplies. It is truly an alarming situation and without you Borgne is doomed.

Admin, January 23, 2010 4:43 AM Even as there is still a need for acute attention (and there will be a need for a long time), the tragedy unfolding at the epicenter in Port-au-Prince is being attended to by the appropriate agencies and people. Meanwhile, Haitians are fleeing from Port-au-Prince to the north of the country, where countless communities are willing to receive them but themselves are already marginalized, lacking basic necessities. Now, they are called to absorb hundreds of quake casualties and refugees. In the past days, dozens of seriously wounded people have arrived in Borgne; and we are preparing to receive hundreds more in the ensuing days. This community is unable to absorb this influx without immediate additional outside support. H.O.P.E. is the only organization capable to efficiently respond. We have the community experience and support to make a real difference in the relief effort beyond the epicenter. Our response has been prompt and efficient. Working with our medical staff in Borgne, we have mobilized a complete supply and distribution network from Rochester, Washington D.C. and California into Borgne. We have arranged the first two air shipments and will follow with multiple air/sea shipments. Through private donations we have already raised over $100,000 in cash, plus in-kind supplies/equipment. Our budget for this initial stage of relief is estimated at $250,000 – $300,000. This will carry us through the next three months. We are assessing the relief response from larger, better-funded aid agencies before preparing the longer term outlook/budget. We expect to continue to provide a highly efficient response that reaches areas and needs not fully addressed by these external organizations. We are in Haiti for the long term and will be there for the capacity-building beyond the disaster as well. However, our immediate response is on two fronts: Earthquake Casualties – In partnership with MSPP (Haiti’s Minister of Health in the North) we are implementing a three tier response. Urgent hospital care is directed to Cap Haitien’s more fully equipped hospitals. These urgently need medical supplies as well as medical professionals. Our center is designated as a community hospital, well positioned to reduce the load on the urban centers. By taking the less seriously injured and the post-op care patients into our system we optimize the capabilities of both. This model will also be used in other community hospitals in the North. The pre-earthquake supply chain is destroyed; and we have implemented a new one on the fly. Air shipments are underway. H.O.P.E. has small cargo loads into Cap on Monday followed by regular flights thereafter. All supplies will be shared across the entire health network in conjunction with our partners on the ground. Refugees and Community Support – As the entire country’s systems are in disarray, inflation is spiraling upward as supplies of food and all critical commodities diminish. This will soon become a primary contributor to an escalating health crisis. The rural areas of Haiti are based on subsistence agriculture. They are in winter, which is the least productive crop cycle. All of this adds up to a collapse of the economic system. The direct consequence is that the already fragile economy that feeds rural Haiti has broken down. We work at all levels to alleviate food shortages, supply medications for chronic care (in addition to the emergency response) and provide other essential commodities. By being close to the ground, we can develop the most efficient and effective responses – and work through the peasant and other local leaders to continuously track the situation. Our immediate focus is on food for the refugees and care for patients, both earthquake casualties and chronic care. Please refer to our website (www.hopehaiti.org) for additional perspective on H.O.P.E. As you’ll learn, we are a small, agile, and very dedicated group of professionals and volunteers. We concentrate all of our effort and resources ‘on the ground’ in Haiti, where we have done amazing work. All donations received in this effort are fully accountable and will go 100% to the communities in northern Haiti who desperately need them. We are completely non-parochial and share all resources with our partners in the region as needed to efficiently serve the communities. Thank you for your support of Haiti’s relief efforts, and for consideration of our needs in this crisis. ========== FACEBOOK - (WORKING ON FUNDRAISING) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=ts&gid=35012108418 ========== MAP of Borgne http://www.tageo.com/index-e-ha-v-09-d-m91329.htm -> Per Director, Michael Shields 11/20/10: Coordinates for the helicopter landing spot (not a pad but used in the past by UN): 19.847598,-72.524679 (from Google Maps).

Fatality rate at the clinic is 10-13% 60 patients currently Low on Nursing Staff Highest priority is IV Fluids/ORS/IV Supplies This plea for assistance is official OFF the HEAS group and being handled off the list internally. Thank You - Leslie Teltoe - Citizen Action Team Relief Database ----------------------------------------- Conversation with Rose-Marie 11/15/10 She gave a list of needs which are posted. Urgently need large tent. They are set up for 20 and have 40 cholera patients. Also need personnel to go out into rural areas where sick people would not have transportation to the town.

Admin, January 23, 2010 4:43 AM Even as there is still a need for acute attention (and there will be a need for a long time), the tragedy unfolding at the epicenter in Port-au-Prince is being attended to by the appropriate agencies and people. Meanwhile, Haitians are fleeing from Port-au-Prince to the north of the country, where countless communities are willing to receive them but themselves are already marginalized, lacking basic necessities. Now, they are called to absorb hundreds of quake casualties and refugees. In the past days, dozens of seriously wounded people have arrived in Borgne; and we are preparing to receive hundreds more in the ensuing days. This community is unable to absorb this influx without immediate additional outside support. H.O.P.E. is the only organization capable to efficiently respond. We have the community experience and support to make a real difference in the relief effort beyond the epicenter. Our response has been prompt and efficient. Working with our medical staff in Borgne, we have mobilized a complete supply and distribution network from Rochester, Washington D.C. and California into Borgne. We have arranged the first two air shipments and will follow with multiple air/sea shipments. Through private donations we have already raised over $100,000 in cash, plus in-kind supplies/equipment. Our budget for this initial stage of relief is estimated at $250,000 – $300,000. This will carry us through the next three months. We are assessing the relief response from larger, better-funded aid agencies before preparing the longer term outlook/budget. We expect to continue to provide a highly efficient response that reaches areas and needs not fully addressed by these external organizations. We are in Haiti for the long term and will be there for the capacity-building beyond the disaster as well. However, our immediate response is on two fronts: Earthquake Casualties – In partnership with MSPP (Haiti’s Minister of Health in the North) we are implementing a three tier response. Urgent hospital care is directed to Cap Haitien’s more fully equipped hospitals. These urgently need medical supplies as well as medical professionals. Our center is designated as a community hospital, well positioned to reduce the load on the urban centers. By taking the less seriously injured and the post-op care patients into our system we optimize the capabilities of both. This model will also be used in other community hospitals in the North. The pre-earthquake supply chain is destroyed; and we have implemented a new one on the fly. Air shipments are underway. H.O.P.E. has small cargo loads into Cap on Monday followed by regular flights thereafter. All supplies will be shared across the entire health network in conjunction with our partners on the ground. Refugees and Community Support – As the entire country’s systems are in disarray, inflation is spiraling upward as supplies of food and all critical commodities diminish. This will soon become a primary contributor to an escalating health crisis. The rural areas of Haiti are based on subsistence agriculture. They are in winter, which is the least productive crop cycle. All of this adds up to a collapse of the economic system. The direct consequence is that the already fragile economy that feeds rural Haiti has broken down. We work at all levels to alleviate food shortages, supply medications for chronic care (in addition to the emergency response) and provide other essential commodities. By being close to the ground, we can develop the most efficient and effective responses – and work through the peasant and other local leaders to continuously track the situation. Our immediate focus is on food for the refugees and care for patients, both earthquake casualties and chronic care. Please refer to our website (www.hopehaiti.org) for additional perspective on H.O.P.E. As you’ll learn, we are a small, agile, and very dedicated group of professionals and volunteers. We concentrate all of our effort and resources ‘on the ground’ in Haiti, where we have done amazing work. All donations received in this effort are fully accountable and will go 100% to the communities in northern Haiti who desperately need them. We are completely non-parochial and share all resources with our partners in the region as needed to efficiently serve the communities. Thank you for your support of Haiti’s relief efforts, and for consideration of our needs in this crisis. ========== FACEBOOK - (WORKING ON FUNDRAISING) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=ts&gid=35012108418 ========== MAP of Borgne http://www.tageo.com/index-e-ha-v-09-d-m91329.htm

mission: It is an ongoing challenge to establish and maintain adequate health services in rural Haiti. Prior to establishing our Borgne Health Alliance (Alyans Sante Borgne or ASB) in 2006, the H.O.P.E. clinic, was the only staffed clinic and laboratory or first-line professional medical care available to this community. Today ASB treats over 35,000 patients per year through mobile clinics and the community hospital at Fond la Grange. Despite significant progress since ASB’s startup, the lack of basic medicine, inoculations, vaccines and health awareness enables highly treatable and avoidable diseases, injuries and illnesses to become life-threatening and debilitating on a large scale. Our goal is to provide preventive and primary care medicine to the entire community. To date we have had significant success, but face ongoing challenges due to funding shortages to expand our work. ASB has developed numerous successful partnerships to channel global funds and foundation support into this community. * Alyans Sante Borgne/Borgne Health Alliance (ASB) – Since the formation of our partnership with MSPP (Ministry of Health) and the formation of ASB in 2006 we have grown to a staff of over 70 staff, including 4 physicians and a cadre of nurses, auxiliaries, technicians and community health agents. All staff are Haitian and many were born and raised in the community. H.O.P.E. is responsible for management of this health systems, which served more than 35,000 patients in 2009. We continue to fund this system providing staff salaries and much needed medicines and supplies. * Basic Sanitation and Health Education – Develop and provide training and education in basic health. This is critical to reduce and eliminate the extremely high risks of disease due to improper sanitation, water and nutrition. HOPE’s Technology Center (Sant Teknoloji) has operated a water purification and sanitation program for the past five years. Staffed by local workers, this program offers vital first-line disease prevention facilities and education to the region. * Village Outreach Service – This service provides traveling outreach programs to the remote areas of Borgne. Previously most of the population had never seen a health services professional. There are currently numerous staff making rotating visits to the community. More frequent visits with better equipped staff will eliminate many of the serious health risks early enough to greatly improve conditions. * Infant and Maternal Health Program – One of Borgne’s most serious health risks is found in child-birth and post natal care. As an example, one of every eight children born in Haiti does not live to see the age of five. Many mothers die of post-partum complications. Our program provides health education and pre-natal/post-natal care with a goal to eliminate this very manageable cause of death and disease. -> It is an ongoing challenge to establish and maintain adequate health services in rural Haiti.

Admin, January 23, 2010 4:43 AM Even as there is still a need for acute attention (and there will be a need for a long time), the tragedy unfolding at the epicenter in Port-au-Prince is being attended to by the appropriate agencies and people. Meanwhile, Haitians are fleeing from Port-au-Prince to the north of the country, where countless communities are willing to receive them but themselves are already marginalized, lacking basic necessities. Now, they are called to absorb hundreds of quake casualties and refugees. In the past days, dozens of seriously wounded people have arrived in Borgne; and we are preparing to receive hundreds more in the ensuing days. This community is unable to absorb this influx without immediate additional outside support. H.O.P.E. is the only organization capable to efficiently respond. We have the community experience and support to make a real difference in the relief effort beyond the epicenter. Our response has been prompt and efficient. Working with our medical staff in Borgne, we have mobilized a complete supply and distribution network from Rochester, Washington D.C. and California into Borgne. We have arranged the first two air shipments and will follow with multiple air/sea shipments. Through private donations we have already raised over $100,000 in cash, plus in-kind supplies/equipment. Our budget for this initial stage of relief is estimated at $250,000 – $300,000. This will carry us through the next three months. We are assessing the relief response from larger, better-funded aid agencies before preparing the longer term outlook/budget. We expect to continue to provide a highly efficient response that reaches areas and needs not fully addressed by these external organizations. We are in Haiti for the long term and will be there for the capacity-building beyond the disaster as well. However, our immediate response is on two fronts: Earthquake Casualties – In partnership with MSPP (Haiti’s Minister of Health in the North) we are implementing a three tier response. Urgent hospital care is directed to Cap Haitien’s more fully equipped hospitals. These urgently need medical supplies as well as medical professionals. Our center is designated as a community hospital, well positioned to reduce the load on the urban centers. By taking the less seriously injured and the post-op care patients into our system we optimize the capabilities of both. This model will also be used in other community hospitals in the North. The pre-earthquake supply chain is destroyed; and we have implemented a new one on the fly. Air shipments are underway. H.O.P.E. has small cargo loads into Cap on Monday followed by regular flights thereafter. All supplies will be shared across the entire health network in conjunction with our partners on the ground. Refugees and Community Support – As the entire country’s systems are in disarray, inflation is spiraling upward as supplies of food and all critical commodities diminish. This will soon become a primary contributor to an escalating health crisis. The rural areas of Haiti are based on subsistence agriculture. They are in winter, which is the least productive crop cycle. All of this adds up to a collapse of the economic system. The direct consequence is that the already fragile economy that feeds rural Haiti has broken down. We work at all levels to alleviate food shortages, supply medications for chronic care (in addition to the emergency response) and provide other essential commodities. By being close to the ground, we can develop the most efficient and effective responses – and work through the peasant and other local leaders to continuously track the situation. Our immediate focus is on food for the refugees and care for patients, both earthquake casualties and chronic care. Please refer to our website (www.hopehaiti.org) for additional perspective on H.O.P.E. As you’ll learn, we are a small, agile, and very dedicated group of professionals and volunteers. We concentrate all of our effort and resources ‘on the ground’ in Haiti, where we have done amazing work. All donations received in this effort are fully accountable and will go 100% to the communities in northern Haiti who desperately need them. We are completely non-parochial and share all resources with our partners in the region as needed to efficiently serve the communities. Thank you for your support of Haiti’s relief efforts, and for consideration of our needs in this crisis. ========== FACEBOOK - (WORKING ON FUNDRAISING) http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=wall&ref=ts&gid=35012108418 ========== MAP of Borgne http://www.tageo.com/index-e-ha-v-09-d-m91329.htm
