Responding to Immediate Medical Needs in Haiti

Direct Relief has a long history of support to medical facilities and health care partners throughout Haiti, including during the 2010 earthquake and the subsequent recovery efforts that would take place over the next decade. The organization has provided more than $321 million in medical support to health clinics and hospitals over the past decade and long-standing relationships with local organizations providing care in the country allow Direct Relief to rapidly respond.

Direct Relief has staff on the ground in Haiti, as well as firmly established relationships with a number of local partners and with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), a regional branch of the World Health Organization.

Currently, emergency medical modules that Direct Relief pre-positioned in the region are being deployed from Port-au-Prince with medical teams to affected areas, to meet the overwhelming need for medical attention. Each module contains significant quantities of the medicines and supplies that Haitian health facilities and doctors are currently requesting: antibiotics, wound care items, and medical outreach packs, among other aid.
