Three years after Haiti’s devastating earthquake, more than a third of the country’s hospitals are still not functional. A cholera outbreak has killed more than 7,000 people and overwhelmed the already-reeling health care system. Three out of the four medical schools in Haiti were damaged in the January 2010 quake, which killed the entire second-year class at the nation’s largest nursing school. In all, more than 200,000 people perished in the magnitude-7.0 earthquake. Despite this bleak outlook, Dr. John Macdonald says he feels “blessed every day.” – CNN.com
