8/3/11: Post from Nish Suvarnakar, Dir. of Log. on HEAS
Hello all,
We hope everyone is braced for the tropical storm/hurricane coming our
way. We are preparing for some staff turnover of ex-pats and we had a
few outstanding items we wanted to address before this occurs. As
always we and the moderator for the group would appreciate
conversations off the list (send to Nish.suvarnakar@gmail.com). Of
course, any public resource should be shared.

These are not all explicitly medical but this list has an exceptional
knowledge base of Haiti and working there in.

-NEED ENT Doc: We are looking for an ENT specialist? We have a patient
who is a 29 year old with a slow growing neck mass (onset 2003) that
now has dysphonia. The ultrasound showed a submandibular cystic
lesion. Now i need a place to refer her for further evaluation. Is
there anyplace anyone knows of? Please me at nish.suvarnakar@gmail.com

Physicians/Physicians Assistants Needed: Our free primary care clinic
is always looking for volunteer physicians, and physicians
assistants. We provide room and board and three meals a day with
volunteers residing in either a private or shared (two-bed) dorm room
with private bathroom. Our clinic runs Monday to Friday and sees
emergencies on Weekends. If you know of anyone interested, email me.
nish.suvarnakar@gmail.com

Non-Medical: One of our employees is looking for assistance in getting
her daughter (with Haiti Passport) to the united states on a tourist
visa. He made it sound as if it would be faster to get a tourist visa
if an American was a guardian or sponsor. Has anyone on the list or
does anyone know of someone who has experience with the visa process
for minors? email: nish.suvarnakar@gmail.com

JOB OPPORTUNITIES: In seven weeks, I will be leaving my post as
Logistics and Program Coordinator for the Clinique Saint Esprit. We
are looking for someone to replace me for a 1-2 year term. The
position includes room and board and monthly stipend. A full job
description is on our new web site :

Please respond directly to me (nish.suvarnakar@gmail.com) as opposed to clicking 'Reply.'

Our clinic recently had a fire. While no one was harmed, our propane refrigerator (the culprit of the fire) which housed our vaccinations was destroyed. We keep our vaccines in a propane fridge as our electricity here is not always reliable and the vaccines need to stay at constant low temp. We have decided that propane is still the way to go for this reason and are looking for organizations that could either donate a propane fridge or know where we can find one. We originally received our fridge from UNICEF but that was years ago and the contact info I have is no longer valid. Could anyone point me the right direction. Thanks in advance. Again please, respond off the list. Thanks

Information for Volunteers
Haiti Medical Missions of Memphis

# Join a Medical Trip to Haiti to provide health care to patients at the Clinic (Clinique Sainte d’Esprit located on grounds of St. Charles Seminary in Croix des Bouquets, near Port au Prince)

* Medical professionals, including physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmaceutical representatives and other medical and health care support staff are needed.

# Team members may also support the students and staff of L’Ouverture Cleary School.

Travel and Lodging Costs

* All volunteers traveling to Haiti are expected to pay their own travel and lodging costs. Travel costs are estimated at $500 - $700 round trip, depending on city of origination as well as fluctuation in airfare costs.
* Once in Haiti, lodging is provided via the residence attached to the clinic and will comfortably accommodate 20 people. The residence includes a kitchen, which is used by the team to prepare daily meals. In order to maintain the residence, HMMOM recommends a daily individual donation of $30 to cover associated lodging and transportation.

The Clinic

* The clinic includes a number of examining rooms, an operating room, an ICU/RR, X-ray, a lab, and a dental/eye clinic. The clinic also includes a library/ classroom.
* While the clinic has a limited inventory of supplies in Haiti, medicines and supplies that are to be used for each mission trip are generally collected, packed and brought with the team for each trip. Any items not used during the trip are then added to inventory for future use.
* In addition to seeing patients at the clinic, the team may round at other facilities and work at other established clinic sites, including sites run by the Missionary Sisters and Brothers.

2010 Haiti Earthquake -

15 Jan. 2010:
The Holy Spirit Clinic is open and accepting patients. Many injured are arriving daily.

14 Jan. 2010 (8:00 pm):
Earthquake update posted on the Haiti Medical Missions of Memphis blog. "The clinic is in operation, however still damaged. Due to the overwhelming numbers of people, a triage area has been set up outside on the football field. The clinic is on a compound which uses well water and although it was disabled initially, it has been restored as of this morning. Fortunately, we recently installed solar panels and they are able to continue to generate electricity."
