Soweit ich gelesen habe, hat Israel ein Krankenhaus in Haiti aufgestellt. Wurde, glaube ich vor ein paar Tagen gelesen zu haben, zu einem Schwerpunkt in Sachen Cholera erklärt.
When a devastating earthquake hit Western Turkey in 1999, claiming tens of thousands of lives, Israel was one of the first countries to dispatch search and rescue teams, a field hospital and a 100-person medical team to the region. Israel's proximity to Turkey, as well as our vast experience with mass casualty situations, enabled search and rescue teams to arrive within hours of the quake and to rescue 12 survivors buried under the rubble while recovering over 100 bodies.
The Israel Defense Forces immediately dispatched a field hospital which worked around the clock, treating hundreds of victims over the course of nearly two months and even delivering 8 babies. The hospital included an emergency room, an operating room, a delivery room, an intensive care room, a children's ward and an orthopedic ward, all in tents due to the danger of aftershocks.
Medical teams were closely followed by two cargo planes of medications and equipment and hundreds of tons of food and provisions donated by both the Government and the people of Israel.
At the same time, Israel commenced reconstruction of the damaged ICU of Ducze State Hospital and upgraded its facilities. In addition, in order to deal with the thousands of Turks left homeless by the quake, Israel set up an emergency village, providing comfortable housing suitable for long-term dwelling with all necessary utilities and infrastructure. Management of the village, which still exists today, has since been taken over by a private company.

Upon request, Israel also delivered medical equipment to Kinshasa hospitals.

Earlier this year, Israel, through MASHAV, upgraded the dialysis unit in the Lima Medical Center, including the donation of 3 dialysis machines.
