More equipment received: Dr. Ricardo Morbidoni at the Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina works on treatments for tuberculosis.

Laboratories in Brazil, Venezuela, and Ecuador can soon expect to receive stir plates, water baths, and a sonicator, among other equipment and consumables.  Thank you to the Sustainable Sciences Institute for making shipping this equipment possible.

Destination Cange: 14 cartons of equipment and consumables were shipped to the Partners In Health/Zanmi LaSante clinic in Cange, Haiti.

We have laboratory and clinical equipment packed and ready to be shipped to Partners In Health as soon as the political situation in Haiti permits.  A shipment for Sustainable Sciences Institute partner labs in South America is almost ready as well.

A group of Harvard Medical School students is actively working to address some of these resource problems.
