 The Cuban medical mission in Haiti has assisted to date more than 50.000 people after the devastating earthquake and is expanding its areas of operations, while professionals from other countries that arrived after the disaster are preparing to leave.Of the patients assisted by the Cuban doctors, more than 3,000 were operated on and 1,500 of them underwent highly complex surgeries, including over 1,000 unavoidable amputations. In statements to the Cuban media, Cuban health brigade coordinatin office member, doctor Carlos Alberto Garcia pointed out that the strategy is to render as much integral assistance as possible to those affected. He explained that they are working based on the concept that the emergency is not over, because respiratory infections, diarrheas and other common anomalies in the complex panorama prevail. According to the physician, the integral attention that Cubans are rendering to victims includes health promotion actions, cures and rehabilitation The Cuban doctors are currently rendering these services at 13 health insitutions in Port au Prince and four field hopspitals. The Cuban health professionals are also guaranteeing the work at five Integral Diagnostic Centers, relatively near the capital, to cover health assistancce to the local residents and patiens that moved to that area. The works to finish building five other centers of this kind are in progress in several departments of the country and those in their final stages are expected to start operating in upcoming days. Those centers, which have cutting-edge-technology diagnostic equipment, are part of a joint Venezuelan-Cuban project. Almost three weeks after the huge earthquake, the Cuban medical mission includes 938 collaborators, with more than 50 percent in several points of the capital. Of the total, 380 are Haitian doctors that studied and were trained in Cuba. Compartir esta información:
