One of the greatest needs is for basic sanitation. Infection is also a critical issue and the need for antibiotics. John McGhee, PhD in Public Health, was part of the team to Haiti. He made connections with the UN to better coordinate relief work. Eddie Wickward, a diesel mechanic from Spokane, (our son-in-law) became a right-hand man in helping with treating and organizing the many needy people who came seeking help.





A second team is planning to head down to Haiti in a week. Pray for those giving of their time and expertise to relieve the terrible suffering of these people.

Second Hope Ministries Sends Medical Team to Haiti

/










Sunday, January 24, 2010 Ron and a team of 5 other doctors and one soon-to-be medical assistant flew to Miami then onto Haiti. They were loaded with bags of surgical equipment, antibiotics, morphine and other medicinal supplies. It was quite shocking to see the devastation of thousands of people without food or shelter. People lined up waiting for some kind of medical care. The team saw a lot of infected wounds. Patients are the hospitals and make-shift clinics were treated and released to sleep outside wherever space was available. At night the streets, sidewalks, and every where people bedded down, since over 700,000 no longer have homes to go to.
