HAITI–(ENEWSPF)–January 22, 2010. In the aftermath of the January 12 earthquake in Haiti, Port-au-Prince’s working hospitals were flooded with people with serious injuries that required immediate emergency care. Those who either couldn’t reach a medical facility or who were contending with more routine illnesses often went without treatment. In recent days, however, while continuing to perform operations at its fixed sites, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has started sending mobile teams into communities in and around the capital to search for people with conditions that could deteriorate rapidly if they go untreated.
