cat_notes: 6/19/11: Laura, You're right, I was told we were okay with tents, then yesterday we realized how small they were and wouldn't accommodate the numbers. But, thanks to you and other people in your group, the PAHO cholera area supervisor showed up yesterday and have agreed to supply us with the remaining items we need. So, please put all the requests on hold as we are hopeful the 'system' should kick in for us now. Thank you very much for all your help !! namaste, Kim 6/17/11: Emailed GRU and Hollie to see if they had supplies. -> 7/10/11: Laura, Apparently Paul thinks we should let IOM go. We are so busy taking care of patients and building toilets and showers and permanent structures as able that we need to expend only so much energy 'asking' and such. What I challenge any of the big organizations to do is come here and see how many patients we have and how we aren't even an "official" site. I'm sure you understand. Regarding gloves, Paul is in contact with Andrew at DRI so we can also let him be in charge of that. Thanks for trying to get those tents here, I'm sure we can use them whenever they get here.... Kim 7/7/11: Laura, I just found out that IOM is not providing us the tents they have in Gonaives saying they are saving them for hurricane watch. So, we definitely could use the large tents we requested earlier. I just re-read this and it sounds like the tents won't arrive in Tabarre until Sunday? Paul and his staff will make arrangements for pick up as soon as they arrive in Tabarre so please let us know when this is confirmed. For transportation purposes could you please confirm the size of the tents being donated? as always a grateful thank you!

Please use me as the primary contact for now and I'm happy to answer any additional questions. Regarding the need for staff, what appears to be needed is a template to work from that manages the intake and geographical information needed for each patient. If PAHO or another agency has such a template if would be very useful to get good statistics and will help explain why the patients are being sent here to HAS instead of the CTC in St. Marc and Verrette.

Almost all have been bed-ridden for almost 3 weeks, and for some of them, learning to walk again is precarious challenge. It has also become possible to travel to Port-au-Prince to establish personal relationships with the international aid agencies which have established offices in tents on the grounds of the airport. HAS is now represented in the Health Cluster, with daily briefings to the more than 130 participating health-related organizations, and a rich opportunity for networking. In addition, through the good offices of Dr. AJ Neusy, who has been at HAS this week, we have established links with senior officials at the United Nations and several European aid organizations. Also visiting HAS now is Gozde Akci, a Turkish veteran of many UNDP postings in troubled areas, and now a consultant to UNDP in economic development. She has arranged for a meeting with UNDP staff next week, to discuss long-term economic development strategies in Haiti. for more info read http://hashaiti.blogspot.com/ News posted on: http://www.hashaiti.org/ http://hashaiti.blogspot.com/ ======= Support - http://www.directrelief.org/EmergencyResponse/2010/EarthquakeHaiti.aspx January 22, 2010 - 4:30 pm Hôpital Albert Schweitzer (HAS), a 130-bed surgical hospital in Deschapelles, reports that it has been receiving a stream of patients from Port-au-Prince.

notes: 6/19/11: Email from Kim McLennah The PAHO cholera area supervisor showed up yesterday and have agreed to supply us with the remaining items we need. 6/18/11: Email from Kim McLennan After meeting with Paul Pendershot and some of the medical staff this morning the consensus for our most urgent needs are: COTS - 50 - 100 needed so cleaning and disinfection can be done properly TENTS- 2 Large size (12' x 16' or larger) BUCKETS - 50 each Dextrose with .3% NaCl for children Any quantity Styrafoam cups Any quantity with lids To minimize confusion, I am sending this only to you, Patrick at IOM, and Jean Jacques Simon at UNICEF. Please use me as the primary contact for now and I'm happy to answer any additional questions. Regarding the need for staff, what appears to be needed is a template to work from that manages the intake and geographical information needed for each patient. If PAHO or another agency has such a template if would be very useful to get good statistics and will help explain why the patients are being sent here to HAS instead of the CTC in St. Marc and Verrette.

But, thanks to you and other people in your group, the PAHO cholera area supervisor showed up yesterday and have agreed to supply us with the remaining items we need. So, please put all the requests on hold as we are hopeful the 'system' should kick in for us now.

Latrine building, and repair of household cisterns. Using USGS topo maps 1:50,000, the community of Barbe is found on map 5673-ii (St Marc) square Long 57, Lat 03.

Almost all have been bed-ridden for almost 3 weeks, and for some of them, learning to walk again is precarious challenge. It has also become possible to travel to Port-au-Prince to establish personal relationships with the international aid agencies which have established offices in tents on the grounds of the airport. HAS is now represented in the Health Cluster, with daily briefings to the more than 130 participating health-related organizations, and a rich opportunity for networking. In addition, through the good offices of Dr. AJ Neusy, who has been at HAS this week, we have established links with senior officials at the United Nations and several European aid organizations. Also visiting HAS now is Gozde Akci, a Turkish veteran of many UNDP postings in troubled areas, and now a consultant to UNDP in economic development. She has arranged for a meeting with UNDP staff next week, to discuss long-term economic development strategies in Haiti. for more info read http://hashaiti.blogspot.com/ News posted on: http://www.hashaiti.org/ http://hashaiti.blogspot.com/ ======= Support - http://www.directrelief.org/EmergencyResponse/2010/EarthquakeHaiti.aspx January 22, 2010 - 4:30 pm Hôpital Albert Schweitzer (HAS), a 130-bed surgical hospital in Deschapelles, reports that it has been receiving a stream of patients from Port-au-Prince. HAS offers specialty surgeries including orthopedics, outpatient services, pre-natal care, and more. It is receiving more than $167,000 (wholesale) of medical material aid to support its care for people injured in the earthquake. -> 6/18/11: Email from Kim McLennan After meeting with Paul Pendershot and some of the medical staff this morning the consensus for our most urgent needs are: COTS - 50 - 100 needed so cleaning and disinfection can be done properly TENTS- 2 Large size (12' x 16' or larger) BUCKETS - 50 each Dextrose with .3% NaCl for children Any quantity Styrafoam cups Any quantity with lids To minimize confusion, I am sending this only to you, Patrick at IOM, and Jean Jacques Simon at UNICEF. Please use me as the primary contact for now and I'm happy to answer any additional questions. Regarding the need for staff, what appears to be needed is a template to work from that manages the intake and geographical information needed for each patient. If PAHO or another agency has such a template if would be very useful to get good statistics and will help explain why the patients are being sent here to HAS instead of the CTC in St. Marc and Verrette. Thanks very much! ---------------------------------------------- 6/18/11: Email from Kim McLennan, PT Thank you for your prompt response. I will meet with Paul Pendershot, our emergency director this am and get back to you quickly with numbers: but for now we have consistently been short of 40-50 cots/buckets for last three days. We have received 2 large tents, so our current need is for cots/buckets. ------------------------------------- 6/17/11: Post on HEAS I wanted to put this out to the network to see if anyone could help respond to needs at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Deschapelles, Artibonite Valley. The contact person is Kim McLellan, kimclennan@mac.com 3890-1848, and they are looking for cots, buckets, and one or two large tents to immediately respond to the large number of cases (40-50 per day right now).
