HAITI–(ENEWSPF)–1 February 2010. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) operating theaters and emergency wards in Haiti are still busy. The two teams in Leogane, for instance, are carrying out an average of 30 operations each day, as are the teams at the new hospital in Carrefour. The inflatable hospital in St Louis is still seeing new cases of compound fractures, as are the surgeons working in Choscal, who’ve been receiving victims of shooting and car accidents as well.
