Along with other organisations Doctors of the World / Médecins du Monde have been sending volunteers to Haiti following the earthquake.

"Dr Christopher Bulstrode, an Oxford surgeon flew out to Haiti for Doctors of the World on Sunday 24th January to help treat victims of the devastating earthquake. During the three weeks he is due to spend on the island, he will be helping run mobile clinics."

Read his blog on his experiences there....

"I wonder if you have lived a day which has changed your life. Well I suppose that I just have. This was my first day doing surgery in Haiti. I don’t want to get into gory details but I have never seen anything like this in all my life. They tell me that last week was much worse. Well all I can say is that I am glad that I didn’t see it."
