Good comes from tragedy, but how to sustain it?

Better care in post-quake Haiti, but how long?: Challenge is to make changes last, before attention, aid dollars wane

The 6-month-old baby boy was rushed to the field hospital near death in a donated ambulance, his body trembling in shock.

Before Haiti's earthquake, he wouldn't have stood a chance. His homeless 18-year-old mother could not have afforded even the 60-cent admission fee at Port-au-Prince's rat-infested general hospital.

But four months after the quake that leveled the capital, foreign volunteers, donated medicine and free hospitals are giving Haiti's impoverished people the best health care of their lives. Now the challenge is to make improvements permanent, before the world's attention and aid dollars run out.
