About this facility
- Mission
- from website: The nonprofit organization Cap Anamur - German Emergency Doctors Association, based in Cologne in 1979 launched, founded by Chris and Rupert Neudeck, and some of her friends, including Heinrich Böll. Since then, we provide worldwide humanitarian assistance, even in places where the media attention has long since subsided. Our focus is on the medical care and access to education. Our actions are directed at the principle of sustainability. In war and crisis areas, we create structures that improve the lives of people in distress permanent: the repair and building of hospitals and schools, the education and training of local employees and the provision of construction materials, relief goods and medicines. After that, the faster we can give a project in the hands of local people, the better. Because the capacity is available for further operations.

Our medical professionals have a local support staff and the residents of the camps and the surrounding population in the simple but very effective hygiene measures to prevent cholera. It was built latrines and wells and improve drinking water supply. Locally we have the necessary medications and infusions, such as antibiotics and disinfectants and drinking water. We work with the Haitian American Health Ministry and other agencies and to the spread of infection are well prepared as we had expected since the natural disaster in January with the outbreak of an epidemic.
