USNS Comfort Begins Treating Haiti Earthquake Patients


The U.S. Navy’s 1,000-bed hospital ship Comfort arrived off the Haitian shore and began receiving patients from the January 12 earthquake even before it dropped anchor in Port-au-Prince harbor.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says the arrival of the Comfort is “a big help,” as international medical personnel on the ground continue to cope with casualties despite ongoing challenges resulting from the natural disaster.
Speaking to reporters at the State Department January 20, Clinton said the Comfort has brought with it more than 600 American medical personnel and “adds important capacity to our relief efforts.”
“Already patients are being taken onboard via helicopter and treated,” she said.
