Haiti - Rose Charities has sent a massive shipment of medical equipment and supplies for the Nursing School and Hospital in Port-au-Prince. The 40 ft container, packed to capacity with beds, cribs, scrubs, needles, monitors left MedWish International (Ohio, USA) yesterday and will arrive in around 4 weeks time. Much of the contents were donated to Rose Charities by MedWish - all are desperately needed items
Canadian Nurse Educators will be going to Port-au-Prince in October to conduct a neonatal nurse education program for 20 Haitian nurse educators. Rose Charities Canada has bought equipment and mannequins to assist.. Donations from the Sikh community and many others in Vancouver have made this possible. The nurses' school was completely destroyed in the earthquake with the loss of 74 young nursing students. The Vancouver nurses will be offering instruction to 20 students from four hospitals in Port-au-Prince.
