ICID - update re: Haiti

Just got this email and thought this was a pretty interesting add to this conference:


Late-Breaker Announcement for the 14th International Congress on Infectious Diseases in Miami, Florida  March 9-12, 2010:

Infectious Diseases in Field Hospitals in Haiti

A late breaker symposium addressing infectious diseases issues relevant to the planning and operation of field hospitals following the recent earthquake disaster in Haiti has been added to the program for the 14th ICID. The symposium will be held on March 11 from 3:45-5:45 PM. Several speakers including Gordon Dickinson from the University of Miami and Vladimir Krcmery from University of Trnava, both active in establishing and operating field hospitals in Haiti since the disaster, will present their experience. A panel discussion with the speakers will follow the presentations. This will be a rare opportunity to hear firsthand accounts of the tremendous challenges faced immediately following the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
