On Feb. 5th, after arriving in Gonaives, doctors from AMDA Bolivia and a nurse from AMDA Canada have started working in local hospitals.

In exchange of the team¢Âª®s arrival, the doctors from AMDA Nepal returned to Nepal on Feb. 6th.
Santo Domingo (Dom. Rep):

Not only does it target the Haitian victims, the project also includes people in need of such devices in Dominican Rep.
For further dispatch of personnel, additional two coordinators from AMDA Headquarters will leave Japan for Santo Domingo on Feb. 13th.
