Abbott Statement: Abbott Provides Support for Cholera Relief Efforts in Haiti
Date:10/27/2010

Haiti relief efforts build on Abbott's existing philanthropic partnerships to expand access to health care in the country.  Since 2007, Abbott and the Abbott Fund have provided more than $34 million in grants and product donations to help address health needs in Haiti, including maternal and child health, diabetes, HIV/AIDS and malnutrition.

Pre-Positioned Abbott Products Supported Early Relief Efforts

Abbott products were in use immediately following the earthquake in Haiti.  Last year, Abbott worked with Direct Relief International to strategically pre-position essential products in Haiti to prepare for potential natural disasters.  As a result of this work, several health centers in Haiti were able to provide an initial quantity of Abbott rehydration solutions, antibiotics and nutritional products to people in need following the earthquake.

Video of Abbott products being packed by Direct Relief International for use in Haiti is available at http://agendanyc.com/clients/abbott/preparedness.htm.  Filmed in mid-2009, this footage highlights ongoing efforts to pre-position aid.
