Stanford's SEMPER Team prepare for the Philippines: Part 1

In the immediate aftermath of the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12, 2010, Stanford University was asked to assemble and deploy a team of four emergency physicians and four nurses to Port-au-Prince.

As soon as the team arrived, it began treating the approximately 800 severely injured survivors gathered at Hôpital de l'Université d'État in Port-au-Prince, and subsequently cared for approximately 2,000 patients over the ensuing 12 days. In the following weeks, additional Stanford emergency physicians and nurses responded to continue to aid relief efforts.

The SEMPER team has now traveled to the Philippines to provide medical assistance after Typhoon Haiyan.
