Using my daily diary quota to update the DKos community about the most recent request from Partners in Health for volunteers and supplies for Haiti.
Partners in Health needs for Haiti
Also below is a website that collects some on-the-ground info from charities working in Haiti now.
As many of you already know, Partners in Health is an organization that has worked in improving medical care in Haiti for some time before the earthquake. PIH is associated with the Haitian organization Zanmi Lasante. They have an in-place network of clinics and other facilities in Haiti and are hard at work providing care to as many as possible as well as immediately working to provide temporary medical facilities and rehabilitate damaged ones.

They have put out an updated request for supplies and materials for Haiti as well as a specific request for volunteer medical services.

Please excuse this short diary, but if you know anyone in the medical supply business or anyone who is associated with orthopedic or surgical medicine, please pass this on. The need is very great.
Here is also a good site to find blogs and other updates from charity organizations' representatives on the ground in Haiti.
