Haiti Earthquake Update - LIVE ONLINE
Join Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for a special teleconference on the recent earthquake in Haiti, streamed live online.
The earthquake in Haiti has been described as among the largest catastrophes of the last 100 years. Thanks to the generosity of supporters, Doctors Without Borders was able to respond immediately.
Hear first-hand how our medical teams set up makeshift clinics to triage patients on the grounds of destroyed hospital structures; how we accomplished complicated surgical procedures in an inflatable hospital and tents; and the future of our work as we continue to address medical challenges the Haitian people are facing.
Find out how donations are being put to work. Ask your questions.
Speakers include:
Dr. Greg Elder
Medical director for MSF programs in Haiti, Somalia, Uganda, and Nigeria
Jordan Wiley
Logistician who was in Port-au-Prince when the earthquake hit
Sophie Delaunay
MSF executive director in the United States
