The following release was issued today by Partners In Health:
"In Haiti, it continues to be a race against time to provide urgent medical care to people who are injured and sick. But we must also focus on the long-term implications presented by a new, large group of vulnerable and displaced people in Haiti. PIH has the expertise and commitment to stand with Haiti for many years to come. Events like MTV's Hope for Haiti telethon tonight bring this tragedy into peoples' living rooms and present an immediate opportunity to help, and for that we are grateful." -- Ophelia Dahl, Executive Director, PIH
