- WHO WHO spearheads health response to earthquake in Haiti: "Immediate health priorities include:
- Rescue of survivors trapped underneath rubble;
Treatment of people with major trauma injuries;
Preventing the infection of wounds;
Provision of clean water and sanitation; and
Ensuring breast-feeding is continued.
Control of communicable diseases, such as diarrhoeal diseases and respiratory infections, will be another major concern in coming days.
WHO is working with local authorities, United Nations agencies and humanitarian partners to respond to the emergency. More specifically, WHO is supporting the Haitian government to best coordinate international health assistance to the country. WHO is also collecting data on the health impact of the earthquake to disseminate to other humanitarian aid providers."
