Good Neighbors Deploys Medical Team to Haiti

Good Neighbors is sending to Haiti medical teams of doctors and nurses recruited from Korea and USA. Hailing from Korea’s Wonju Christian Hospital and from the Seoul National University Hospital, the doctors arrived in Haiti and continued providing medical service with their own medical equipments and medicines. In the United States with the support from the Nurses Association, a medical team with a general practitioner, a 30 years-experienced nurse from Cedar-Sinai Hospital with expertise in surgical operations, and a pharmacist fluent in the local language is ready to be deployed this coming Monday, February 1st.

Good Neighbors is set to deploy medical teams in 10 consecutive terms and is already registered as a NGO in Haiti in preparation to provide long term reconstruction development projects.

According to the deployed medical team currently on ground, the local sanitary conditions are very poor and signs of epidemics such as tetanus and typhoid are growing. There is an urgent need not only for surgeons but also for internal medical doctors and pharmaceutical supplies.

Medical doctors and nurses are desperately needed in Haiti.
