HHI Responds to Earthquake Devastation in Haiti

In response to the Haiti earthquake disaster, the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) is playing a lead role in supporting the coordination of the Harvard-wide response including that of the Harvard-affiliated hospitals within Partners Health Care System. By leveraging HHI’s unique position as an academic and research center with long-standing ties to leading medical and public health personnel, HHI has been able to facilitate the deployment of more than 70 surgeons, emergency physicians, anesthesiologists and nurses to Haiti in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake.
