Ambulance Service saving lives

By Meredith | THHT Board Member

One of the new ambulances!
One of the new ambulances!

Last October we were kindly donated two new ambulances, which have been a huge blessing to our work in Haiti. 

Just in the last few weeks these amabulances have been used for a range of emergencies.  Within a 48 hour period they were used to provide emergency transport for three premature babies who were 3 hours away from a specialist neonatal unit, the transfer of a patient left with a spinal cord injury, and an emergency transfer of a patient needing to travel to the Dominican Republic.

Thanks to your support, each of these patients were offered the best support they could have possibly hoped for in Haiti.  One of our team were privleged enough to travel on some of these transfers and shared the following... 'despite being in a 4x4 Toyota Ambulance, it was a tough journey transporting one patient with a spinal cord injury across the bumby conutry side from one hospital to another, over a 4 hour journey.  Never the less, despite the off-road journey, it was fantastic to see the smile and joy of the patient once they arrived at the new hospital, where they would recieve long term rehabilitation.  These ambulances have provided such a critical service in the last few days, and we are incredibly grateful for all those who have blessed Haiti with this support.'

Whilst it's great to have these ambulances, we need your support to keep their services running.  We're currently raising funds to support the ambulance drivers, and pay for other operational needs.  Please join with us, to keep this work going.
