Update: Chadasha Foundation #4

Concerning the 6.1 aftershock this morning...everyone in Jimani is ok!!

Things are busy here; but progress is being made. We have about 300 patients and 10 surgey suites in operation. Helicopters and trucks are bringing patients in routinely. Operations are going as smoothly as they can now. Physicians are not needed at our Jimani hospital; but we will be setting up clinics in Haiti today

1. External fixator sets - New ready to use

2. Stryker saw batteries - Recharger

3. Enders nails and mallets

4. General anaesthesia machines with with tubing (3)

5. 2 Operating Room Tables

6. Patient linens and gowns

7. Laptops with wireless (5)

8. Printers with cartridges

9. I-Stat clinical chemistry

10. Digital C-Arm Orthopedic Fluoroscopy Unit

11. We need radiologist over-read and other capability. We will have T-1 capability with a satellite system today.

We are in desparate need of portable kichens. We are contacting Samaritan's Purse, World Vision, and the International Mission Board for the kitchen and other supplies.

We will be headed to PAP to select sites to set up clinics there. We will need physicians, nurses, and supplies for that. We will let you know specifics.

For any orthopedic surgeons, we need for them to bring an anaesthesiologist, nurse, and scrub tech.

That's it for now. Thank you for any help you give.
