Deploying third medical team to Haiti

        


 

Medical staff, food and water supplies are still desperately needed in Haiti.

 

Good Neighbors USA deployed on Monday Feb 1st, another medical team consisting of 1 doctor, 1 registered nurse with 30 years of experience and 1 pharmacist, all who volunteered to help people survived from the earthquake.

 

Doctor Byung Woo Choi previously volunteered in regions including Yemen (2003, 2004), Lebanon (2001) and Kenya (2000).

The veteran nurse Young Chin Roe currently works at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in LA and has previous experience as a medical volunteer in Africa (2004), the Amazon, Brazil (2006) and in Indian reservation areas (2008).

 

UCLA-graduate pharmacist Joanne Lee will prescribe medications and will also serve as a translator, as she speaks three languages.

 

Good Neighbors USA is planning to deploy additional medical teams successively in 10 terms. Haiti is in desperate need of medical doctors, nurses and medicines as well as hygiene items.
