The Network was notified last weekend that there were essential medications, many of them injectable, about to expire at the Port-au-Prince depot of our friends Grassroots United. We offered to have our Network Support Team distribute the meds to patients who can use them now, before they expire, in the local area hospitals. It happened that Les from Grassroots was flying to Cap, and Ralph helped direct him from the airport to his hotel. Dr. Eugene and Ralph then brought him in our Team's new vehicle to Justinien Hospital, where they brought the meds to staff persons working in patient care areas to distribute them where they could be used.

Some of the meds were also brought to Haiti Hospital Appeal clinic and hospital and Hopital St. Francois de Sales.
