Medical Care For Sichuan Quake Survivors

More than 5,000 injured persons have been taken from Sichuan Province for more specialized treatment---medical workers seen here have set up Mobile Hospitals jointly being managed by Germany & Shanghai Huashan Hospital.

Other patients are being transported to 18 different provinces for care. The May 12 earthquake resulted in more than 65,000 fatalities and over 360,000 people injured. A 6.4 magnitude aftershock resulted in the deaths of 8 people and more than 1,000 additional injuries.

NBA All-Star Center Yao Ming has filmed a public service announcement helping to raise much needed funds for the Survivor's of the Sichuan earthquake.

You too can help make a difference in the lives of the quake Survivors by making a donation of any amount to the Red Cross Society of China which is urgently in need of money to help rebuild the lives of those affected from the devastating earthquake.
