For addition to the register of available CTC’s,
Samaritan’s Purse has a 40 bed CTC in full operation
in Bercy, Haiti. All beds full and adding more.
Patients presenting for treatment are predominately
children. We would like to get this facility added
to the CTC list. Also, in addition to the 100 bed
facility in Cite Soleil that is already registered,
we opened a rehydration center on Ruelle Odiede,
Pont Rouge, Cite Soleil Commune today. This
facility will receive and rehydrate patients
transferring those requiring treatment beyond
one day on IV’s on to a local CTC.
In Him, Tom Wood
