Luis Oliveros Serranos, in charge of logistics of the
Cuban medical mission in that
country, expressed that logic and efficiency are the main standards
followed in this cooperation with the Haitian people, since
resources are placed where they’re more necessary, in a balanced
way.
The field hospitals (the previous ones are located in Croix des
Buquet, Carrefour, Leogane and Jacmel) are equipped with
state-of-the-art technology, and more will continue to be opened
according to the needs of the population.
The purpose of the contribution made by the countries that are
members of the Bolivarian Alliance for The Americas (ALBA) is to
give their support to the Haitian people in the field of health
after the earthquake that devastated the nation's capital and
neighboring cities.
Also in operation, besides the five field units, are five Centers
for Comprehensive
Diagnosis and three medical institutions (La Paz, Renaissance and
Ofatma hospitals), all of them in charge of Cuban doctors, nurses
and health technicians, with the support of Haitian fifth and sixth
year students from Havana’s Latin American School of Medicine, and
Haitian physicians graduated from this center.
There’s also primary health care, with the creation, as of
Wednesday, of medical
consultation posts in different localities, near people in need of
these services.
