Haiti School of Nursing Teaching Programme
The first medics sent by Rose Charities Canada to Haiti after the earthquake have returned to Canada to create a teaching programme for the School of Nursing in Port-au-Prince. This programme will start in Port-au-Prince in mid-October and will be open to 22 nurses from various hospitals around the city.
Haiti to get Container of Medical Supplies
In addition to sending medics to Haiti, Rose Charities Canada and Rose USA have, today, dispatched a large 40 ft container full of medical equipment and supplies all of which are to help resestablish the School of Nursing and the pediatric ward of the general hospital in Port-au-Prince. Most of this equipment was donated by Medwish International Ohio and the remainder bought with funds raised by Rose Charities Canada and Rose USA. Some examples of supplies are: beds, cots, neo-natal monitoring equipment, syringes.
