When the 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010, International Medical Corps was on-the-ground saving lives within 22 hours. As the country marks three years since the disaster, the organization continues to help rebuild the broken health infrastructure through training programs including Continuing Medical Education courses for local health professionals and technical assistance to the Ministry of Health for cholera surveillance, control and prevention. International Medical Corps is also providing cholera treatment and prevention services through mobile medical units.
