Brazilian Ministry of Health officials and U.S. Embassy
Summary
Brazilian Ministry of Health officials and U.S. Embassy Brasilia representatives at the Brasilia International Airport inspect a U.S.-donated shipment of specialized medication. The medication – named Cyanokit - was urgently needed to help victims exposed to cyanide poison that resulted from a nightclub fire Jan. 27 in Santa Maria, Brazil. Brazilian health officials later distributed the medication to health-care facilities treating victims. U.S. Southern Command partnered with the U.S. Embassy in Brasilia, the Brazilian Ministry of Health, American Airlines, Miami Dade Aviation, and the Transportation Security Administration Feb. 1 to secure the rapid transport of the medication.
