Dunfermline Doctor in Haiti Mercy Mission

  • Submitted by: Alexander Stewart, Mid Scotland and Fife, Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party.
  • Date lodged: Monday, 27 March 2017
  • Motion reference: S5M-04913

That the Parliament commends the Dunfermline GP, Alison Dunn, on her life-changing trip in February 2017 to provide medical relief for hundreds of patients devastated by Hurricane Matthew in Haiti; understands that Alison was part of a team that was among the first medical relief workers to reach communities hit by the hurricane and that, although this was her eighth trip to the country, it has been her most challenging; believes that she is a member of Dunfermline’s Vine Church on Garvock Hill, which built a state-of-the-art hospital on the island of La Gonave that opened in 2015, and has been visiting Haiti since 2008, and notes that two other Dunfermline volunteers made the trip, Charlie Seaman, who coordinates logistics to the country, and Kelly Armstrong from the Pars Foundation, who wants to purchase AstroTurf for a youth centre to take teams of football coaches to the country.
