How you can help: volunteer and donate supplies

01/16/2010

We are deeply grateful for the multitude of people who have contacted us wanting to provide medical assistance, medicine and supplies. While we wish we could use all of the support so generously offered, we urgently need the following:

• Orthopedic surgeons, trauma surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurse anesthetists, OR nurses, post-op nurses, and surgical technicians. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate any volunteers without significant surgical or trauma training and experience. If your qualifications match our needs, please fill out this form.
• Orthopedic supplies, surgical consumables (sutures, bandages, non-powdered sterile gloves, syringes, etc.), and large unopened boxes of medications. Unfortunately, we cannot accept small quantities or unused personal medications. We also need blankets, tents, and satellite phones with minutes. People with private planes willing to fly medical personnel and/or large quanities of supplies are also greatly needed. To donate any of the above goods, please fill out this form.
