Steve Henrichon -- Pisco, Peru

January 15, 2008

On behalf of the Real Medicine Foundation, I wrote a proposal to open a free medical clinic in Pisco, peru in the wake of their 8.0 earthquake on August 15, 2007. I was accompanied a best friend, Rene Castillo. Here is a photojournal of my experience in Peru.

Policlinico Peruano Americano - DRI Equipment Procurement - Peru

February 27, 2009

We are very thankful for the $16,000 gift from Direct Relief International, which was used to purchase medical equipment. With this money, we purchased an ultrasound unit, suction unit, pulse oximeter, autoclave, hospital bed, oxygen tanks, nebulizers, and cabinetry. We also improved the security measures at the clinic to protect DRI's investment in our clinic. We are gracious for DRI's continued support of the Policlinico Peruano Americano. Approximately 90 patients per day will benefit from the new equipment and service expansion.

Policlinico Peruano Americano

On August 15, 2007 a magnitude-8 earthquake struck just off the coast of central Peru, with more than 500 killed, 3,000 injured and approximately 58,000 homes destroyed.
After initially helping other NGO’s with aid, food distribution and support of the Children’s Hospital during the first days after the earthquake, RMF opened a temporary health clinic to offer primary healthcare services until an appropriate permanent location was found.
