Medecins sans Frontiers/Doctors without Borders (MSF) is an international medical humanitarian organization committed to bringing quality medical care to people caught in crisis regardless of race, religion or political affiliation.
MSF has successfully landed five planes in Haiti since the earthquake, with a total of 135 tons of supplies into Port-au-Prince. More than 700 MSF staff are working to provide emergency medical care to earthquake survivors in and around Port-au-Prince, but another 195 tons of supplies need to be granted permission to land in the airport in the coming days in order to continue MSF’s accelerated medical relief operation in Haiti.
In five different locations in the capital, MSF has given primary care to an estimated 3,000 people and performed more than 400 surgeries, as of January 19.
“It is like working in a war situation,” said Rosa Crestani, MSF medical coordinator for Choscal Hospital in Port-au-Prince.
