Images from Cange: providing medical care and comfort

Posted on Jan 18, 2010

 

As people flee the devastation of Port-au-Prince, many are arriving at PIH's hospital in Cange, where PIH/Zanmi Lasante staff and volunteers are working around the clock to bring medical care and comfort both patients and family members.

 

 

The Sociomedical Complex in Cange was PIH/ZL's first site in Haiti. Over the past 25 years, the facility has grown to include a full-service hospital with two operating rooms, adult and pediatric inpatient wards, an infectious disease center (the Thomas J. White Center), an outpatient clinic, a women’s health clinic (Proje Sante Fanm), ophthalmology and general medicine clinics, a laboratory, a pharmaceutical warehouse, a Red Cross blood bank, radiographic services, and a dozen local schools.
