				<title>EirGen Pharma assistance to victims of earthquake in Haiti</title> 
				<link>http://eirgen.com/viewnews.php?id=46</link> 
				<description><![CDATA[Following the devastating earthquake in Haiti on January 12th 2010, EirGen immediately set about the organisation of a shipment of essential medicines to an aid agency already working there called Partners In Health (PIH). PIH is a Boston, Massachusetts-based non-profit health care organization dedicated to providing a "preferential option for the poor". It was founded in 1987 by Dr. Paul Farmer, Ophelia Dahl, Thomas J. White, Todd McCormack, and Dr. Jim Kim. Using EirGen&#8217;s extensive contacts in the pharmaceutical industry, the drugs were sourced in India and a shipment was prepared which included antibiotics and pain medication valued at over 10,000 US Dollars. The shipment was routed from India to Port-au-Prince, Haiti via Miami, Florida. It is hoped that the medicines we donated will go in some small way to relieve the suffering of the people of Haiti.<br/><br/>In a separate initiative, Patsy Carney, Managing Director of EirGen Pharma, took part in a sponsored &#8220;Paddle for Haiti&#8221; on March 27th which involved a canoe trip around Tramore bay in Waterford which raised over 11,000 Euro&nbsp;for Trocaire, an Irish aid agency active in Haiti.<br/><br/>EirGen Pharma is a pharmaceutical company based in Waterford, Ireland.
