MTBC-The 4% Medical Billing and Free EMR Company-Pledges Support for the Victims
of the South Asian Earthquake
In the wake of the devastating South Asian earthquake, a massive relief effort is
currently underway to speed life-saving relief to families affected by the region's
most destructive earthquake in nearly a century.
The 7.6-magnitude earthquake has resulted in the death of at least 30,000 people
in Pakistan, with nearly 600 deaths in India. According to the United Nations, more
than 2.5 million people were left homeless after Saturday's disaster and death tolls
are expected to rise as rescue workers reach severely affected areas.
Immediate relief is needed for families who have lost homes and loved ones and continued
support will be required in the coming weeks to help restore power and services
as well as rebuild homes and shattered lives. MTBC's board of directors has made
a $10,000 contribution to the relief efforts.
MTBC has responded to this disaster by rushing urgently needed relief to the victims.
David Rosenblum, President of MTBC, explained, "MTBC has prepared a convoy to travel
to the affected areas with supplies of food, tents, mattresses, and medicine, and
we encourage anyone who can help to do so."
More help is needed as roads begin to open, enabling supplies to reach remote villages.
