Volunteer doctors honored at the HUEH
The management of the Hospital of the State University of Haiti honored the doctors (interns and residents) who flew to the rescue of the victims of the earthquake of August 14, 2021 in the far South.
They are interns, residents, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals. Less than forty-eight hours after the devastating earthquake that ravaged the far south, the first medical assessments and first aid were provided by a group of volunteer health professionals from the HUEH.
For Dr Jessie Colimon Adrien, this tribute ceremony is an act of encouragement to all these professionals who have literally given themselves to the service of others.
It is also the occasion, she adds, to congratulate the professors, in particular the doctors on duty at the HUEH, the pharmaceutical companies and other companies, the community leaders and all those who have helped these professionals to the accomplishment of their tasks.
Receiving an Honor and Merit certificate for their bravery, these health professionals have made a commitment to remain at the service of the population, especially in difficult times.
The ULCC on the ground to detect acts of corruption in aid management
