Haiti's Heroes

Posted on Sep 25, 2010


“In medical school, they gave us disaster training,” says Dr. Dubique Kobel. “But I never thought I’d find myself in a situation like this.”

In the aftermath of the January earthquake that devastated Haiti, Dr. Kobel immediately began using his medical training to help his injured neighbors in Port-au-Prince. Today, as director of a PIH clinic that serves Parc Jean-Marie Vincent, a large settlement where 80,000 of earthquake survivors now live, he is still tirelessly providing medical care to those most in need.

Watch a video from the Abundance Foundation documenting Dr. Kobel’s work and life at Parc Jean-Marie Vincent.
