Investing in Puerto Rico Communities
During the last five years, Direct Relief has facilitated the implementation of over 400 projects to strengthen Puerto Rico’s healthcare system through the Federally Qualified Health Centers’ network and many other local nonprofit organizations. Contributions from donors and corporate partners, including AbbVie’s $50 million donation, have been vital in the success of many of these programs.
In addition to equipping health centers and clinics with requested medical supplies, Direct Relief has provided more than $30 million in cash grants aimed at bolstering Puerto Rico’s health sector in the following ways:
Emergency Preparedness
Since 2018, 23 health facilities across the island have received pre-packaged modules of emergency medical supplies from Direct Relief in advance of hurricane season. Items include a wide range of medications and wound care supplies, 164 FDA-compliant pharmaceutical and laboratory refrigerators and freezers were installed, increasing cold chain capacity and storage to roughly 6 million vials of vaccines.
In support of front-line workers, over 900 Emergency Medical Backpacks for triage medical outreach activities during emergencies have been distributed to each member of Puerto Rico’s Medical Reserve Corps, all Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and volunteer EMT's.
In addition, 41 automated external defibrillators were positioned in public sports facilities and first responder vehicles island-wide. Direct Relief has also purchased and donated 69 long-range radios to health centers, ensuring their ability to communicate across local and island-wide channels during power outages and network breakdowns
