We are following the news with sustained interest. AMHE will act in keeping with its mission and tradition of delivering relief to Haiti in the form of well-calibrated missions coordinated among AMHE physicians and other members of the Association in partnership with other organizations working on the ground.
As a full assessment is still underway, AMHE is connecting with its in-country partners, Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP) and the Civil Protection, in order that we are ready to step in at the appropriate time.
AMHE is proposing three immediate courses of action:
1) Raise funds for the affected communities Donations may be directed to: AMHE website : DONATE HERE
