January 16, 2010 (Port Au Prince)

The 6-member GlobalMedic Rapid Response Team travelled overland from the Dominican Republic yesterday and has based operations SW of Port-au-Prince in the Adventist University of Haiti. They have been operational providing clean drinking water and medical care since Friday afternoon. Two strong aftershocks were felt today. People are scared and sleeping on the street. There is looting and banditry at night.

The team's doctor is working in the Adventist hospital doing general surgery with 2 medics assisting him at all times. The 71 bed hospital is seeing over 500 patients with more showing up every day. Fractures and infections are common. There are not enough medics or doctors to keep up and medical supplies are running out. Four Trekker water purification units have been installed that are supplying clean drinking water to 2000 people per day including the hospital's patients, patients families and staff. Over 20,000 people are seeking refuge on the grounds at the Adventist University in Haiti. The Explorer water purification unit is up and running producing 64L/min of clean water. Distribution networks have been put in place to provide Aquatab water purification tablets to beneficiaries. There are long line ups for water but everything remains orderly as of now.
