Sangha was able to send physicians
to the Hurricane Katrina affected areas in Gulfport, MS
and New Orleans, LA within 2 weeks of the Hurricane.
Sangha partnered with Children's Health Fund (CHF)(www.childrenshealthfund.org)
and was able to provide acute disaster care on medical
mobile units. We were also able to help transition from
disaster care to primary maintenance care. Most
infrastructure was destroyed, including emergency care.
Therefore Sangha developed and instituted a program in
conjunction with CHF to train primary care providers and
mental health therapists in emergency care. Through our
efforts 20 primary and mental health providers were
trained in Basic Life Support and 12 primary care
providers were trained in Advanced Cardiac Life Support
and Pediatric Advanced Life Support.
