Because Healthcare is a Human Right

On the island of Lagonav where we work, there is only one 50-bed hospital staffed with three doctors, serving a population of over 100,000. Life expectancy in Haiti is 57 years, and the child mortality rate is the highest in the western hemisphere.

OUR HEALTHCARE PROGRAM INCLUDES:

• Operating a rural walk-in clinic, staffed by locally educated and trained Haitians.
• Operating an infirmary at our twin parish school staffed by a nurse we educated.
• Sponsoring a health education Mothers Club, focusing on pregnancy and childbirth.
• Conducting annual medical/dental missions (currently suspended).
  Funding monthly visits to our walk-in clinic by Haitian dentists.
• Working in close cooperation with the Haitian Ministry of Health to support their work on the island.
