How to help with Qinghai Earthquake. Medical volunteers needed.

The guys over at Beijing Healthcare Forum are organizing a health response for the earthquake. Here’s how to help.  Contact info and details are below.  Pass this on if you can.

Dear Beijing Healthcare Forum,

In the wake of the earthquake that rocked Qinghai on Wednesday, a group of local NGOs have set up a relief consortium in Xining called Yushu Earthquake Response (YER). They are looking for doctors, nurses, and others with medical expertise from within China who could help in Jyeku/Yushu to supplement government relief efforts. If medical personnel can get to Xining, this group expects to be able to arrange permissions for them to proceed to the area. Medical volunteers should bring whatever equipment they can carry plus cold-weather clothes. Current reports say additional medical expertise is urgently needed.

For further information for any one who might be able to get to Xining, please contact Mr. Chris Jones, cc’d above (ph 187 8363 6805), or teacher Tashi yushuearthquakeresponse@gmail.com.

Please let Mr. Jones know if you have further questions or if additional information is needed.

Best,
Jared Glanz-Berger & Ray Deng
