FOCUS ON DOCTORS WITHOUT BOARDERS ACTIVITIES IN
HAITI
29
Doctors Without Boarders History in Haiti
Doctor without border has started their
activities in Haiti since 1991, and they has
never stopped working there until this moment.
However, many people did not know this
organization, or even about their activities in
Haiti, until the earthquake that hit Haiti in
2010. that caused a major devastation for the
infrastructure, which impact on the health
condition all over the country as well.
Mainly, since they had arrived there they were
providing people with the health care, that they
need, especially in the rural areas, and also,
they were supporting the local medical units.
30
Doctors Without Boarders at the Time of the
Earthquake in Haiti
Doctors without boarders teams were one of the
most effective groups in the rescue operation
after the earthquake. In that point, there were
about 800 field staff who were working in three
medical centers before that. That number had
increased after the earthquake to reach 3,400
field staff who were working in 26 hospitals and
clinics covering the effected area.
31
Doctors Without Boarders During the First Three
Months in Haiti After the Earthquake hit
Doctors without boarders teams treated 165,000
people, distributed 28,000 shelters and 85,000
non-food item kits, rehabilitated 10 hospitals,
and constructed four new facilities. Also,
surgeons made 5,707 major surgical operations.
The Cuban medical cooperated team reported 3,562
major operations in the same period.
32
Cholera Epidemic and Doctors Without Boarders
Role
As we know, the Cholera is an epidemic which
spreading by the polluted water. After the
earthquake hit, this disease appeared, and made
it worst for Haitians. Doctors Without Boarders
took the first action to fight against it. Then
they started immediately treating people who have
the symptoms, during a few days they the were
able to take 150 patients a day. In addition,
they built isolation camps. Eventually, they were
able to treat 91,000 Cholera Patients.
33
Doctors Without Boarders Achievements on Haitis
file
Since they have started on January 12 until
October 31, their staff treated more than 358,000
people, performed more than 16,570 surgeries, and
delivered more than 15,100 babies. This
organization also uses mobile and fixed-point
clinics to provide primary medical care and
relief supplies to people who are living in any
other areas out of the capital. Furthermore,
until January 2, 2011, doctors without boarders
teams had treated 91,000 cholera cases in 47
treatment centers located around the country.

  were for injuries caused by violence.

  flee the violence of the capital, there are
  thought to be more than 300,000 displaced people
