Yéle Partnering With Project Medishare

PORT-AU-PRINCE, July 12, 2010 – Wyclef presented a check to Project Medishare for the purchase of the first high-resolution CT scanner in Haiti, which will be available to patients regardless of their financial resources. The device will have its own trailer and generator power source and will be installed at Bernard Mevs Project Medishare Hospital in Port-au-Prince, a nonprofit institution working closely with the Haitian Ministry of Health. This technology will allow rapid diagnosis and effective treatment to prevent unnecessary deaths from major heart attacks, strokes, major trauma and maternal emergencies. “It’s important that Project Medishare and Yéle Haiti are partnering at this time to provide the Haitian people with life-saving technology that will be operational within a few weeks,” Dr. Barth Green, president and co-founder of Project Medishare said. “On the six-month anniversary, Project Medishare and Yéle Haiti are working together in a promise to continue improving access to healthcare for all Haitians.”
