Humanitarian aid arrives in Moldova
The phrase "mission accomplished" best summarizes phase one of the Physicians With Heart airlift to Moldova in October. Despite postponement of the delegation's travel until February, 20 tons of medical/humanitarian products valued at more than $7.7 million (wholesale value) arrived safely and on schedule.
The AAFP, the AAFP Foundation and Heart to Heart International, a humanitarian aid organization based in Olathe, Kan., are founding partners of Physicians With Heart.
Miles Zinn, Heart to Heart project coordinator, was on-site in Moldova to oversee documentation and distribution of the donated medicine and supplies. He said leaders at Moldova's State Medical University in Chisinau "are eager for Physicians With Heart to follow up with a second phase that will bring the delegation to Moldova for medical symposia on family practice."
