Six
brigades have been organized with the Cuban technicians that arrived
there on Sunday, for which they have fumigation equipment and
pesticides brought from the archipelago.
The 48 experts in vectors, eight epidemiologists and six head of
brigades have organized themselves in working groups and
participated in a training seminar on the comprehensive actions
needed to reduce the risk of the appearance of diseases and
epidemics.
The city’s epidemiological situation is one of the worrying aspects
at the moment, when the rubble has begun to be removed and thousands
of corpses are being exposed.
Haitian interns and fifth year students from Havana’s Latin American
School of Medicine and those who were already in Port-au-Prince, are
carrying out their work at parks and sports fields, concentration
points and shelters, where people who’ve lost their homes have
gathered.
They offer primary health care to wounded people with polytraumas
(3,043 seen by them until Sunday at Cuban medical posts), curing
their wounds and implementing preventive actions against infections.
