Mission 5, May 2012 Operation Les Cayes

Mission Team: Hirsch, Lovelace, Atwell, Daniels, Desmond, Lindemann

Objectives: In addition to returning to Les Cayes, we rendered clinical care to the mountain village of Gigot, as well as the village of Caille Coq, on Ile a Vache. Working to expand our reach, we continued to create and build relationships with physicians both locally and in remote areas, working to establish a basic First Responder/EMS course for rural community members. Along with medications and supplies, we provided the hospital with nebulizer equipment, and the area’s first cardiac monitor and defibrillator.

Accomplishments: Met all objectives. Over 1000 patients were treated via the four clinics. A child in one village was in critical condition and was treated, then transported to L'Hopital Immaculee Conception in Les Cayes. The child recovered. A local physician who partnered with the ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE team in helping the child later posted on the ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE Facebook site: "I was being with kid days ago. He is ok. This zone is my. I am one of the doctors of the zone. We try the do the best we can but the situation is very difficult. The ARCHANGEL AIRBORNE mission is welcome becomt they help us with so many things. We are waiting for them one more time. In this area we don't have NGO helping us. We have to help them by putting an emergency service called CENTRE MEDICAL LA RENAISSANCE but until there the problems can not be solved. By contacting Archange Airborne you will help our people."
