AmeriCares Meets Long-Term Health Needs of Disaster Victims in China and Myanmar
Date:7/10/2008

hospital follows the construction of an earlier field hospital in Qingchuan, an area where 250,000 residents lost their only hospital after the initial earthquake and major aftershocks. The field hospital in Qingchuan is fully operational, seeing between 150 and 160 outpatients each day, performing operations and deliveries and treating an inpatient population. Northwest Airlines donated the transportation costs for delivering both field hospitals, which are a product of BLU-MED Response Systems.

AmeriCares was one of the first private international relief organizations to provide aid to Chengdu, the capital of the hard-hit Sichuan Province, delivering an initial supply of medicines on May 22 and providing an additional shipment of critically-needed medical supplies, including anesthetics and nutritionals for diabetics to the Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital in Chengdu, China.

AmeriCares in Myanmar

In the wake of Cyclone Nargis in May, AmeriCares was one of the first nonprofit organizations to fly an airlift directly into Yangon. The airlift included 15 tons of medical supplies and medicine to help operate mobile medical clinics serving victims in local communities, including the Irrawaddy Delta region. This second shipment of aid will replenish earlier supplies, allowing our partner, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), to continue the relief effort in Myanmar and establish ten primary health clinics throughout the region.

AmeriCares relief workers are in Myanmar working with our partners to ensure the delivery of aid reaches those most in need.

The shipment contains 7,000 pounds of medicines such as antibiotics, analgesics, IV solutions, pain relievers and other essential drugs and medical supplies to equip IOM's health clinics. In addition to this shipment, AmeriCares is delivering medications to treat malaria and dengue fever to The MENTOR Initiative and IV solutions to help combat cholera outbreaks.
