Yesterday, the Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA) bid farewell to NDMS medical personnel deployed to assist the hospital’s Emergency Room in the aftermath of Typhoon Mawar. The medical team came from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Strategic Preparedness & Readiness (ASPR) National Disaster Medical System (NDMS). Two NDMS teams were sent to assist GMHA in the ER which was inundated with patients following the storm.
GMHA Grateful for National Disaster Medical System Support
As the community is acutely aware, last week Guam experienced the worst typhoon in 22 years. In the aftermath, most residents have not had access to reliable water, power, and oxygen, resulting in difficulties with medications and ongoing or chronic medical issues which has caused a dramatic increase in the number of patients coming to Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA).
