Jamaica Helping in Haiti

Everyone is getting involved in the efforts to help those in Haiti. A medical team from the Ministry of Health left Jamaica on Friday to help colleagues in Haiti who have already been there for quite awhile.

At this time, Jamaica has a 26 member health team that is in Port-au-Prince. The team includes doctors, emergency medical technicians, public health inspectors, nurses and a health educator. On Thursday, the Director of Emergency Disaster Management and Special Services in the Ministry of Health, Dr. Marion Bullock DuCasse, said that they would operate on a 7-10 day rotation schedule for as long as necessary.

Certainly, all political leaders and advisors in the area, including Hartley Henry and many others, appreciate the efforts that are being made for the people of Haiti.
