TORONTO, ON. -  A Toronto Member of Parliament is calling on doctors in east Toronto and Markham to help Haiti's cholera victims.

Jim Karygiannis, Liberal MP for the Ontario riding of Scarborough-Agincourt, said the doctors will be hosted by Humanity First, a non-governmental organization offering assistance to the Haitian earthquake survivors.

A Canadian entrepreneur has offered assistance to help with airfare, he said.

He hopes some doctors from his riding can take a week to 10 days out of their schedules to help out in Haiti.

Dozens of medical camps are being run by local Humanity First doctors, particularly in Gilgit and the North-West, and in Sindh and Southern Punjab. So far, over 16,000 patients have been treated.
